EveryLibrary and the eBook Study Group Lead the Protest of Library of Congress Firings
EveryLibrary’s executive director, John Chrastka, tells NewsBreaks, “The eBook Study Group has put together a coalition of copyright, academic, and library groups to write a joint letter to the Chair of the Congressional Committee on the Library protesting President Trump’s dismissal of Shira Perlmutter as Register. EveryLibrary Institute, Authors Alliance, Boston Public Library, and Creative Commons are among the signers.” Read the letter, authored by the eBook Study Group’s Kyle Courtney, at ebookstudygroup.org/joint_letter_dismissal_register_of_copyrights.EveryLibrary issued a separate statement on the firing of Carla Hayden and its reasoning and implications, saying, “Most likely, Donald Trump’s administration is attempting a hostile takeover of the Library of Congress to gain access to a trove of data that could be used to manipulate Congress.”
