Hayden's Sept. 14 Swearing-In as LOC Head to Get YouTube Webcast

Carla Hayden's Sept 14 swearing-in as librarian of Congress will be webcast live on YouTube, the Library of Congress said Friday. The Senate confirmed Hayden in July to lead the LOC after a weekslong hold by a Senate Republican (see 1607130061). Hayden, who will be the first woman and the first African-American to lead the LOC, will be sworn in using the Lincoln Bible, the LOC said in a blog post. The swearing-in ceremony is set to begin at noon.
