Hayden was fired on Thursday, according to a text from the White House’s National Personnel Office that the Associated Press obtained. Since being confirmed by the Senate in 2016, she had been in charge of the collection.
” Carla,” the internet began. I’m writing to let you know that your status as the Librarian of Congress has been suspended as soon as possible, in the name of President Donald J. Trump. I appreciate you for your assistance.
The Associated Press received a confirmation from a Library of Congress director.
Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-MN) stated that Dr. Hayden has dedicated her career to making browsing and the pursuit of knowledge accessible to everyone, while President Trump wants to ban novels and dictate what Americans should learn or not at all.
” Now, the president fired a brave people maid. From helping children learn to protecting some of our country’s most priceless jewels, @LibnOfCongress has spent her entire profession serving people. She is a hero in America, according to Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY).
By threatening assistance for Congress, President Trump’s foolish decision will have an impact on America’s libraries, our protected economic interests, and our service to the people. He continued,” His choice is a total disgrace.”
Some people even supported the decision. The American Accountability Foundation praised the action, accusing her of inciting “radical” themes in children’s publications.
In a post on X, it stated that” Carla Hayden, the current# LibrarianOfCongress member, is woke, anti-Trump, and supports trans-ing kids.” ” It’s time to get her OUT and find a replacement for the work,” she said.
