Holiday Period: American Corner Substitute Coordinators

Dear American Corner Patrons, While I am in the United States, I have left four substitute coordinators in charge of the Corner. For the hours they will be open, you can still borrow books, use our technology and the space, and come to the events, which are always free. However: no new cards will be made during this period, nor should patrons expect these substitute coordinators to answer detailed questions on scholarships or study abroad options. People interested in scholarships and study abroad options should check the AMIDEAST Tunis website, or check the US Embassy websites. CCC members should maintain contact with me via email, where I will respond, but not as quickly as I might have in Sousse. Any and all emergencies should be directed towards the administration. Have a wonderful rest of your holiday and have a great return to term!
