"I salute Dr. Carla Hayden, a wise and faithful steward of the Library of Congress--the library she has called our 'national treasure.' Dr. Hayden's abrupt and unjust dismissal is an insult to the scope and breadth of work Dr. Hayden has undertaken in her role leading the Library of Congress....
"By throwing open the doors of the venerable Library of Congress to welcome everyone, Dr. Hayden has revealed what the highest library in the land, and what every library, is: a bastion of knowledge and a beacon of opportunity.... We offer our thanks for Dr. Hayden's exceptional leadership with our words and our actions. Now is the time to urge Congressmembers to publicly show their support for our nation's libraries."
--American Library Association president Cindy Hohl in a statement on the Trump administration's firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress
