WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) released the following statement thanking the Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, for her service:
“I thank Dr. Carla Hayden for her distinguished service as the Librarian of Congress and her friendship. Throughout her tenure, Dr. Hayden has championed access to knowledge, preservation of our nation's history, and the power of literacy to unite and uplift communities.
“It was an honor to welcome Dr. Hayden and her mother, Colleen, to Dayton in 2023 when she spoke at the Dayton Literary Peace Prize.
