For Dr. Carla Hayden, libraries are freedom in action: Whether physical or online, libraries provide all people access to information, opportunity and education. As the Librarian of Congress, and the first woman and person of color to hold this position, Dr. Hayden leads the oldest federal cultural institution in the U.S.—yet it is anything but stale. Brown Advisory’s Jacob Hodes talks with Dr. Hayden about digitizing millions of items, creating an app for burgeoning hip hop artists, and turbo-charging the Library’s online resources during the pandemic. In the podcast, Dr. Hayden shares her passion for libraries as pivotal elements of our social infrastructure—they link us to the lessons of the past and bring people together to create the future.Guests:Carla Hayden, Ph.D.Librarian of CongressHost:Jacob HodesHead of Private Equity, Brown AdvisoryBackground Reading: The Post-Pandemic Future of Libraries, The Atlantic, May 12, 2020 Enriching the Library Experience: The FY 2019-2023 Strategic Plan of the Library of Congress, October 2018 The Librarian of Congress and the Greatness of Humility, The New Yorker, February 19, 2017 Baltimore’s Library Stays Open During Unrest, American Libraries, May 1, 2015 We want to hear from our listeners and learn from your thoughts and feedback.
