Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why? [View all]

Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.



Some of the replies on Bluesky:

The LOC is a research library.
It collects millions of items.
Materials may be used on-site only.
Patrons must be 16 or older.
Leavitt is entirely full of shit.

I've not read all the comments, but you have to be 16 years old to even enter the library of Congress. Karoline Leavitt is a twit.

The Library of Congress is a library of record. That means it retains a copy of everything. It does not serve children. Leavitt again demonstrates the depth of her ignorance. Maybe she should have spent more time in libraries.

She doesn't know what the Library of Congress is
