The library at the heart of Baltimore’s unrest provides kids a safe haven

The Enoch Pratt Free Library has long served as shelter for hard-pressed residents in Baltimore, never more so than during the April protests that followed the death of Freddie Gray. Situated directly across from a CVS pharmacy burned by rioters, the library emerged unscathed and remains an integral part of a neighborhood weighed down by drugs and joblessness. As Adam May reports in this America Tonight excerpt, branch manager Melanie Townsend Diggs sees the library's mission as providing shelter and inspiration for children and adults looking to build a better future.
