Library groups on Wednesday endorsed President Obama’s plans to nominate Carla D. Hayden as the next librarian of Congress, saying she would bring much-needed experience with library technology to the institution.
In a statement, Obama said Hayden “has devoted her career to modernizing libraries so that everyone can participate in today's digital culture.”
