Baltimore’s Enoch Pratt Free Library named Gordon E. Krabbe as Interim CEO, taking
over for Carla Hayden, whom the U.S. Senate confirmed as Librarian of Congress last month.
Krabbe served as the Library’s director of administrative services previously, having joined the Library in 1989. Pratt Library’s board of trustees and directors continue to search for a permanent replacement for Hayden. The Baltimore Business Journal reports more.

Description: Maryland libraries are leaders in bringing the latest technology to our communities. They are designated hubs of broadband connectivity, striving to close the digital divide in our communities and they are a place of learning and professional development. With the launch of MakerSpaces, Innovation Labs, and STEM classes, residents come to libraries to create original content and train on skills critical to compete in today’s economy. Library members range from toddlers learning to read, to entrepreneurs learning to use 3D printers.
