I just got a pitch from a company that makes AI narrated audiobooks as a "smart solution" to Trump's tariffs. I don't get it. #Audiobook narrators-you all live abroad? BTW, Booklist is not accepting AI narrated audio for review.

We must ask ourselves what we value as a society and what we lose in American daily life, future advancements, and preservation of our shared history when cuts like this are made. Take action here:

This is today! I will be there. I was part of this last year and loved it. Even if you can’t watch all 3 hours, sign up and you will be sent the recording. It will also be in the @ala-booklist.bsky.social webinar archive forever!

Join me and a bunch of other smart book folks next Wednesday for @ala-booklist.bsky.social's second series of Reader's Advisory: Ideas and Practice webinars. Guys, it's free. And it'll make you feel like a total RA wizard. ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

NEW: Take action against the Trump Administration's federal funding freeze by sharing your library story. How would a federal funding pause impact your library & community? Share your story with ALA as we work to inform elected officials & decision-makers on this issue: airtable.com/appTIEEt9RjD...

This action will deliver a devasting blow to America's commitment to preserving museum and library services. We know this won't end here. action.everylibrary.org/trump_has_al... via @everylibrary.bsky.social
