In the library of the Amerika-Haus

Shelves packed with books line the walls of a room; in the foreground a young man in a jacket with a dark collar bends toward the lower rows, a card catalogue cabinet with a small sign stands at the left, and a lamp and a picture hang on the partition. The source describes a boy reading in the US Information Center. The Amerika-Häuser offered German readers the American and foreign books that had been banned or unobtainable for twelve years.
