<div dir="ltr">Dear NCH members,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>President Obama’s nomination of Dr. Carla Hayden to become
the 14th Librarian of Congress is pending before the US Senate
and may be voted on at any time. We are asking you to send a
legislative alert to your members to urge them to contact
their senators and ask support for her confirmation. We are
also urging that a vote be scheduled as soon as possible so
she can assume her position which has been vacant since
October 2015. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Dr. Hayden would become the first woman and the first
African-American to lead the Library of Congress. She would
also be the first librarian to serve in the post in 60 years. <br>
<br>
Please follow this link to the National Humanities Alliance’s
legislative alert center where your members can contact their
US Senators and urge their support of Dr. Hayden's
nomination. </div>

<div><br>
Alternatively, they can call their senators through the US
Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. They can find a list of
senators through the US Senate's website at <a

</div>
<div>Here's a link to the story on the NCH website that you can
cut and paste from in crafting your message to your members.</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In anticipation of your questions, I do not have any idea
when her nomination will be considered. Once it is on the
executive calendar it can come to the floor without notice.
The hope is before the upcoming 4th of July recess. Her
nomination was unanimously cleared by the Senate Rules
Committee. I've been in contact with my counterpart at the
American Library Association who said her nomination is not
considered controversial. That said there is no telling when
which is why we are asking for expedited consideration.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in getting
this out to your members. It will be up on NCH's social media
platforms momentarily.</div>
