Today in Library History: Carla Hayden was sworn in as the fourteen U.S. Librarian of Congress. Dr. Hayden is the first African American (indeed, the first Person of Color) and the first woman to hold this position.
Our first post on Dr. Hayden, who was then at Enoch Pratt Free Library, appeared in 2014 and was written by Dr. Angel Batiste, Africa Area Specialist in the African and Middle Eastern Division at the Library of Congress.
(In the video above, linked from the Library of Congress’s YouTube channel, the actual ceremony begins around the one-hour mark.)

Sadness can be this too, but as established a few posts ago, CHANGE IS GOOD.
