P.M. 1180 Nomination of Carla Hayden as Librarian of Congress (Roll Call 128)

This vote confirms Carla Hayden to be Librarian of Congress. ACU opposed the nomination of someone who has been more of a political activist than a librarian as head of the American Library Association. ACU also opposed confirming anyone to a ten year term of office mere months before a presidential election. The Senate voted to confirm the nomination on July 13, 2016 by a vote of 74-18.
