Library Spaces Matter..Guest Carla Hayden, CEO of Enoch Pratt Free Library

Our guest, Dr. Carla Hayden, will talk about how The Baltimore Public Library System was a  pillar and a fixture of and for the community. The library system displayed how libraries still remain relevant in an age where "some" people's perception of the library denotes a fade to black, whereas others are witnessing and experiencing a palpable change in resurgence.  Dr. Hayden will share and elaborate on her library spaces and  specifically, the  "Pennsylvania Branch" on how this particular branch played a major role in the protests and demonstrations of Baltimore. In essence, how the city's library space matters!!
