The Visitors were at the American Corner from 3.30 pm to 4.00 pm after visiting Faculty of Cultural Sciences at Gadjah Mada University. After we introduced each other they looked around from reading room, books, computers, internet, DVD room and posters. Some of them asked questions to pak Ida Fajar, Chief of Gadjah Mada University Libraries, asked to ibu Titisari and ibu Cahya and the others asked and talked to users of the American Corner whom one of them is an undergraduate student of the Faculty of Law GMU whom he had won in the English debate nationally and also had attended the international event. It seemed their discussion very interested when I saw them from away.
The Questions which are asked from how many users visit everyday, who
selected reference books, how many computers are available in the Corner,
DVD, internet, web, do we charge internet for users, online journal,
magazines, programs, our working hours, do we open for the public to the
