About the Library

The Maya Angelou Southeast Branch Library/Biblioteca opened its doors in 1996, following an inauguration ceremony and speech delivered by namesake Dr. Maya Angelou.

The library offers computer workstations and printing for general and Internet use, a reference collection for in-depth research, and a circulating collection of library materials to borrow with a library card.

The branch maintains Spanish and Hmong language materials significant to the overall collection of the Library. Also, there are specialized materials on African American history and other social sciences. The Stockton Record, San Francisco Chronicle and a variety of magazines are available for browsing.

The branch has a photocopier, and each copy costs 15 cents.
