<b>Subject:</b> [alacro-l] Senate approved the nomination of Dr. Carla Hayden<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Today the Senate approved the nomination of Dr. Carla Hayden to serve as the nation’s 14th Librarian of Congress.
Hayden, American Library Association (ALA) past president and director of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland, is the first female and the first African American to lead the Library of Congress. She also is the first professional librarian
to be confirmed in more than 60 years. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Hayden’s appointment comes in the wake of the retirement of Dr. James H. Billington and on the heels of a rigorous
ALA grassroots and social media campaign (<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Hayden4LoC?src=hash" target="_blank">#Hayden4LOC</a>) that encouraged thousands of library advocates to contact their Senators to support her confirmation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“The library community is elated that Dr. Hayden is our nation’s new Librarian of Congress,” stated ALA President
Julie B. Todaro. “She holds all of the professional competencies needed to successfully lead the nation’s library.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“There is no doubt that Dr. Hayden will have a positive impact by leading efforts to establish a more modern
approach to serving members of Congress, researchers and the public at large. Hayden holds a profound understanding of the integral role libraries play in formal education, community-based learning, and the promotion of individual opportunity and community
progress. I believe that through her visionary leadership the Library of Congress will soon mirror society’s rapidly changing information environment, while successfully preserving the cultural record of the United States.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
