The institute's library was called Biblioteca Pública Martí-Lincoln. Most of the books were given by the government of the United States and individual Americans. Popular American magazines were also in the library.
Unlike other libraries in Cuba at that time, the institute's library let people borrow books for reading outside of the library.
The director was the Cuban historian Herminio Portell Vilá.
In 1945, the institute began publishing a bulletin entitled "Dos Pueblos", first for students but later sent to libraries abroad.
An article in "Granma" describes the institute as designed to influence and penetrate Cuban society and culture.

Predicate (grammar)
The predicate in traditional grammar is the second part of a clause or sentence, the first being the subject. A predicate completes an idea about the subject, such as what it does or what it is like.
The predicate provides information about the subject.
The subject NP is shown in green, and the predicate VP in blue.
There is a quite different theory of sentence structure, called dependency structure grammar. This puts the finite verb (= conjugated verb) as the root of all sentence structure. It rejects the binary NP-VP division.
