Founded in February 2008, The Library is a 2500 sq ft mixed-use exhibition space and video production studio housed within one of the four original Enoch Pratt Library neighborhood branches (1886-1971). The Library, functions as a unique sculpture and installation space with curated flat files, offers video production services with an emphasis on social awareness and community projects, as well as hosts weekly yoga classes.

As Baltimore’s premier and progressively minded mixed-use exhibition space, information center, and production studio, our aim is to have a direct impact on the issues affecting our surrounding communities, society at large, and ultimately our collective consciousness.

John Perkins has lived four lives: as an economic hit man (EHM); as the CEO of a successful alternative energy company, who was rewarded for not disclosing his EHM past; as an expert on indigenous cultures and shamanism, a teacher and writer who used this expertise to promote ecology and sustainability while continuing to honor his vow of silence about his life as an EHM; and as a writer who, in telling the real-life story about his extraordinary dealings as an EHM, has exposed the world of international intrigue and corruption that is turning the American republic into a global empire despised by increasing numbers of people around the planet.

The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was an American neoconservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., co-founded in early 1997 as a non-profit educational organization by William Kristol and Robert Kagan.

Fundamental to the PNAC are the views that "American leadership is both good for America and good for the world" and support for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity."
