How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves
AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.

Asking for an author’s book at a library is a wonderful thing to do. The library buys the book, maybe even multiple copies, which really does help authors. A simple request can spread a lot of good around.
Also I just love libraries and I’m always happy when someone checks out one of my books. 📚

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.
But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!
It's easy! Check your library's website.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.
However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.
