An overflow crowd gathered at the Central Branch of the Enoch Pratt Library Aug. 25 to honor Carla Hayden’s Senate confirmation as the 14th Librarian of Congress. Sen. Ben Cardin (DMd.), Rep. Elijah Cummings (DMd.), former Mayor Kurt Schmoke and former Sen. Paul Sarbanes attended the celebration along with other community leaders. Jennifer Franciotti (WBAL TV) was the emcee. Hayden’s mother, Colleen, was also present. Hayden came to Baltimore in 1993 and was the former chief librarian of the Chicago Public Library. She is leaving Baltimore to become the first woman and the first African American to head The Library of Congress. She is also the former president of the American Library Association. Originally from Chicago, Ill., Hayden is credited with modernizing the Pratt library with new IT equipment, healthy food programs, and computers.
