“Hayden spent her entire career to serve people – from children when reading reading to the protection of some of the most valuable treasures of our nation,” said Rep. Joseph Morelle from New York, the best democrat of the House Administration Committee, who monitors the library.

The congress library has a large collection of books and history of the nation, which it provides the public and legislator. It houses the newspapers of almost two dozen presidents and more than three dozen judges of the Supreme Court. There are also collections of rare books, prints and photographs as well as music substances and valuable artifacts.
Robert Newlen, the deputy librarian, said that he would act in a separate e -mail that was seen by the AP as the acting librarian of the congress “until further instructions”.
“I promise to keep everyone up to date,” he wrote to colleagues.
Hayden’s dismissal comes when the Trump government rinsed civil servants who did not match the president’s agenda – from the Ministry of Justice to the Pentagon and beyond.
On Thursday, Cameron Hamilton, the incumbent administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was only released for a day after he had told the legislators that the dismantling of the agency – as President Trump proposed – is a bad step.
