SEND AN EMAIL: Tell Congress to Reinstate the Librarian of Congress!
President Trump has crossed another dangerous line by abruptly firing Dr. Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress.
The Joint Committee on the Library is the oldest continuing committee in Congress.
Its responsibilities for overseeing the Library of Congress date back to 1806.
This is a moment today for the Committee to exercise its duties. We urge Representative Bryan Steil, the Chair, to convene the Committee immediately and hold hearings into the dismissal of Dr. Hayden.
The Librarian of Congress is a vital legislative branch position.
Dr. Hayden has served our country honorably. The Librarian of Congress should not be subject to arbitrary removal. Congress must now respond with courage.
