President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, on Thursday.
Hayden was informed of the president’s decision through an email from Trent Morse, the deputy director of presidential personnel.
“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately,” the email said.
Hayden was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2016 to serve a 10-year term, which was set to expire next year.

Long overdue!)
Surprised that’s not a Congress controlled position!
Kind of funny that the Library of Congress is under the Executive Branch.
That’s one very good reason to fire her.
All in DC are commie dems. Move em out
💯.
The sooner the better.
What branch should it be under then?
time to start taking a closer look @ NARA staffing...mostly Pres. Obama holdovers...
Cue the race card in 3....2....1....
I don’t know why but most librarians are on the far left. Texas A&M’s staff is far left also.
From a related Foxnews article ...
“Hayden had come under fire from the conservative advocacy group American Accountability Foundation, which accused her and other library leaders of promoting children’s books with “radical” content and literary material authored by Trump opponents. “
Mr. Bookman was hysterical....Jerry Seinfeld even had a hard time keeping a straight face.
I don’t know why but most librarians are on the far left. “
It’s true. The ALA is run by a pack of the most radical gang of loonies you are ever going to find.

My point was that based on the name "Library of Congress", some will assume it would be part of the legislative branch. I wouldn't be surprised to see some howls of outrage from some on the left based on that exact assumption.

The American Library Association (ALA) is under fire for inviting Cuban government librarians to its upcoming annual convention, while ignoring colleagues from independent libraries in Cuba who were recently sentenced to prison terms of up to 27 years. “After years of silence, double talk and coverups by the ALA, the current vicious attack gives the ALA no excuse for failing to take action,” said Robert Kent, founder of Friends of Cuban Libraries and a librarian at the New York Public Library. Until a recent crackdown by the government of Fidel Castro, a network of independent libraries offered a variety of titles, such as George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” that implicitly criticized Cuba’s one-party communist government.
