Yes, this is important. The Librarian of Congress should reflect the actual profession of librarianship. The Librarian of Congress should be a woman

Mr. Obama has already tapped executives in Silicon Valley companies to help with technology problems in his administration.
Private sector technologists, while important to work with, would not be good choices IMO, especially considering the need to cut down copyright law and especially considering that libraries often work with the poor and disadvantaged. Considering Silicon Valley's egregious income disparity, I don't think there are many in Silicon Valley who would be appropriate for this position.
Why is it always that the most notable position in a largely FEMALE profession, has been held exclusively by white men?

If the president accepted that recommendation, his choices might include Anthony W. Marx, president of the New York Public Library; David S. Ferriero, the archivist of the United States; or Sarah Thomas, the librarian at Harvard.
I like how most of the choices listed in this article are white men. How about someone who actually represents librarianship? Like a woman? Maybe even from a public university, why from Harvard?
