Register for Presidential Scholar Signature Forum featuring Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden
“Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.” ―
Presidential Scholar Signature Forums
Carla Hayden: A rare first edition
March 24, 2020 | 4:00–6:00 p.m. | Towson University Harold J. Kaplan Concert Hall
Carla Hayden made history in 2016 when she was sworn in as the 14th Librarian of Congress. Unlike her 13 predecessors, she is African American and a woman. She is also only the third librarian to hold the position. Previously, Hayden served as CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, MD, where she was celebrated for her impact on the community.
Join Dr. Hayden at this year’s Presidential Scholar Signature Forums as she shares experiences and lessons learned from an historic and remarkable career. Following her presentation, Hayden will be joined on stage for a brief conversation on women in leadership with General Linda Singh, Deborah Nolan, and Joanna Morganelli. An audience Q&A will follow.
