President Donald Trump fired the top librarian at the Library of Congress on Thursday, just days after a conservative watchdog group highlighted her promotion of liberal policies. 
Carla Hayden, who has led the Library of Congress since her appointment by President Barack Obama in 2016, received an email on Thursday informing her that she had been fired. Hayden was <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14665331/donald-trump-library-congress-carla-hayden.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> this week by the American Accountability Foundation, a non-profit government oversight and research organization, for her opposition to restricting minors&#8217; access to sexually-themed books. 
“Carla,&#8221; the email from Deputy Director of Presidential Personnel Trent Morse said. &#8220;On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service.”
The American Accountability Foundation praised the firing. 
“THANK YOU [President Trump]!!!! Woke &amp; radical Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden has been fired!” the organization posted on X. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

On Tuesday, the organization called for Trump to fire Hayden and the Director of the U.S. Copyright Office, Shira Perlmutter.
“The President and his team have done an admirable and long-needed job cleaning out deep state liberals from the federal government. It is time they show Carla Hayden and Shira Perlmutter the door and return an America First agenda to the nation&#8217;s intellectual property regulation,” American Accountability Foundation President Tom Jones told The Daily Mail. 
Hayden, whose term was set to expire in 2016, has a history of <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Carla+Hayden&amp;order=desc&amp;sort=D">donating</a> to Democratic candidates, including $3,000 to Obama’s presidential campaigns. She was also criticized in 2022 after the Library of Congress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lizzo-plays-200-year-old-crystal-flute-lent-from-the-library-of-congress-b-i-just-twerked-and-played-james-madisons-flute" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lent</a> a 200-year-old crystal flute that once belonged to President James Madison to rap artist Lizzo to play at a concert. 
“B****, I just twerked and played James Madison’s flute from the 1800s!” Lizzo said at the time.
Democrats protested the firing, saying it was part of Trump’s “assault on America’s libraries.” 
“While President Trump wants to ban books and tell Americans what to read – or not to read at all, Dr. Hayden has devoted her career to making reading and the pursuit of knowledge available to everyone,” New Mexico Democrat Senator Martin Heinrich said.
Hayden&#8217;s termination came the same day that acting FEMA Director Cameron Hamilton <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-fema-official-fired-after-saying-he-doesnt-think-agency-should-be-dismantled?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Top+FEMA+Official+Fired+After+Saying+He+Doesn’t+Think+Agency+Should+Be+Dismantled" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was fired</a> after he told lawmakers that he didn&#8217;t support dismantling FEMA, as Trump has proposed multiple times.
