In the latest episode of her podcast Broadband Conversations, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel guests Dr. Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress. Dr. Hayden is the first woman, and the first African American, to hold the post in U.S. history.
Hayden began her career as the children’s librarian at the Chicago Public Library. She went on to serve as the library services coordinator at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and later as Chief Librarian of the Chicago Public Library. Before being nominated by President Obama to lead the Library of Congress, she served as CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland.
“As Dr. Hayden said during our conversation, ‘Librarians are the original search engines.’ I couldn’t agree more,” said Rosenworcel.
