Hayden’s sustained devotion to literature, the community, volunteer work, and curation has made her Library Girl literary readings program a regional hit for writers and audiences alike. 

―Editor,  Santa Monica Daily Press

In recognizing ourselves in her very personal expression of grief, hope, regret and transcendence, we are once again touched by her passion… the desire to bring us together, beyond the digital, to experience our common humanity, person-to-person, to warm our hands and hearts together at an entirely live event! And for that, we are grateful. 

— Linda J. Albertano

"There's nothing quite like this in L.A. Library Girl is a tucked-away treasure of the LA literary scene, and it’s here in our backyard, every month. "
