American Libraries in South Africa

Our library program reaches out to the youth of South Africa, providing information about science, health, entrepreneurship and other topics that will help them make their mark on society and deepen their understanding of the United States and the relationship between the U.S. and South Africa.  We offer speaker events, training workshops, video conferences, and other programs at our libraries, reading rooms, and American Corners, which are open to adult South Africans as well as students from Grade 8 up.

Our libraries also welcome serious questions from South African residents about the United States, its policies, practices and viewpoints.  Library patrons can read our books, magazines, and online resources, and subscribe to the eLibraryUSA virtual library.
