Thanks to Barnes and Noble Chair Len Riggio and his wife
Louise, an exquisite library designed by Maya Lin was dedicated
on March 19, 1999, to our great Black bard.
It includes the John Hope Franklin-Maya Angelou reading
room, a Mrs. Rosa Parks sitting area, and a meeting room which
can accommodate 75. Young people and all who come to Haley
Farm for training and fellowship and able to conduct research;
read about and meditate on great heroes, heroines, writers,
and thinkers; and be exposed to the best quality children's
literature by authors and illustrators of African descent
and on Black experiences.
