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!
