"Carla Hayden is the first woman and the first African American to lead the
Library of Congress. In addition to preserving millions of books, newspapers,
films, photographs, audio recordings, maps, and manuscripts in its collections,
the library—the world’s largest—also serves as the main research arm of the US
Congress and houses the US Copyright Office. Before being sworn in as the
fourteenth librarian of Congress in 2016, Hayden held leadership roles in
libraries for decades, including at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore,
the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and the Chicago public library
system. In an interview with
Issues in Science and Technology contributing
editor Molly Galvin, Hayden discusses the library’s role in informing public
policy, how artificial intelligence is challenging notions of copyright, and
how libraries can help fight misinformation and disinformation, strengthen
communities, and maintain democracy."
