Congratulations Dr. Carla Hayden!

This 'Ethiopian' Librarian and a former Ye-Hagere Maryam (Maryland) resident is proud one of our own is taking the helm of my chosen profession. I hope readers of this blog also share my sentiment especially Ye-Hagere Maryam sewoch. Dr. Carla Hayden served for many, many years as Head of Enoch Pratt Public Library system of Baltimore(Charm City) my former place of residence. While she was at the helm of Enoch Pratt, she served as President of American Library Association. Before coming to Baltimore, she taught and served in senior positions in Chicago area. President Obama nominated her to become the next Librarian of Congress some time early this year. This is the culmination of the long ardent confirmation process. Congratulations again and best wishes Dr. Carla Hayden!
