At the MOU signing, Ms Princess Grace Wooden, Deputy Director of the Public Affairs Section, lauded the XU American Corner for being the most active of the 14 American Corners in the country.

The American Corner provides print, non-print and electronic resources about the United States free of charge to all library patrons.
