The Center Club is thrilled to welcome back Carla Hayden, former CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library and the 14th Librarian of the Library of Congress. Currently serving as a senior fellow at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Dr. Hayden continues to champion equitable access to information and the transformative power of libraries in communities nationwide. In this special program, she will reflect not only on her remarkable career, but also on the personal convictions that have guided her work—what inspires her enduring commitment to public service and access for all. Attendees can expect an engaging and thoughtful conversation that blends insight, experience, and the passion that continues to drive her mission.

Parking: Complimentary parking is available under the building. Entrance is located on Charles Street just north of Pratt Street. Please have your photo ID ready to show the parking attendant or front desk in lobby.
