Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden testified at an oversight hearing held by the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. She discussed how the Library of Congress (LOC) is creating an all-new visitor experience, in time for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. The plan includes an orientation gallery that features a restoration of Thomas Jefferson’s library, a youth learning center, and a special collections gallery. Also, senators asked how the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed under the LOC, will be used to protect copyrighted works amid the growing use of artificial intelligence. The LOC is the largest library in the world and holds more than 175 million books, manuscripts, and other materials. close
