The unpredictable Mr Trump has turned his attention to libraries and librarians. Maybe Dr Carla Hatden has not removed all books and reports talking about DEI, gender, vaccines, etc. from the LoC collection. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden Is Fired <https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/people/librarian-of-congress-carla-hay…> Lisa Peet <https://www.libraryjournal.com/author?query=Lisa%20Peet>, May 09, 2025 <https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/people/librarian-of-congress-carla-hay…> President Donald Trump has fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden. In a two-sentence email obtained by the Associated Press, sent on the evening of Thursday, May 8, Deputy Director of Presidential Personnel Trent Morse wrote, “Carla, 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. Thank you for your service.” **** Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009
