The United States Senate today voted to confirm Dr. Carla D. Hayden as the 14th Librarian of Congress. LLAM President Charles A. Pipins II issued the following statement:

“LLAM thanks the Senate for confirming Dr. Hayden as the nation’s next Librarian of Congress. As CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library for more than 20 years, Dr. Hayden demonstrated her vision and commitment to serving the people of Maryland and bringing the historic Enoch Pratt into the modern age.  I am confident that under her exceptional guidance the Library of Congress will establish itself as a leader on information policy issues and provide cutting edge services and top-notch programs to Congress and the American People.
