US ambassador Hans Klemm launches The American Shelf in Arad library

The US ambassador Hans Klemm has inaugurated on Thursday the sixth American Shelf at “Alexandru D. Xenopol” County Library Arad.

The book collection includes 133 titles offering access to classic U.S. literature, reference books about the U.S. and English teaching books.

There are five similar corners in libraries from Botosani, Galati, Brasov, Sibiu and Drobeta Turnu-Severin.

“Donating a shelf of 133 books of American authors cannot repay the dreams and expectations and the waiting (for the Americans) that you and the people of Arad carried with you during those long four or five decades of darkness,” said Klemm at the inauguration ceremony.

The American Corners Program seeks to promote understanding and cooperation between the United States of America and Romania, by providing accurate and diverse information about the United States on a variety of topics that will help expand communication and exchange between our two countries.
