files and multimedia. Sterrling,

In 1997, the Friends
of the Libraries USA designated the Founders Library
a 'Literary Landmark', in tribute to the life and
writings of
Sterling Brown

ceremony, held in the Browsing Room, was attended
by president H. Patrick Swygert
and other University officials, as well as representative
of FOLUSA and the Federation of Friends of the DC
Public Library System.
