I just read the BookmarkED article and wow, it’s telling that it uses AI to generate the book summaries. To me that shows disdain for the thoughtful summaries people have written, and a mistaken idea that AI is totally unbiased and able to get it right better than a person. I get parents not wanting their kids to come across something upsetting or not age-appropriate to them and also I trust librarians much more than I do companies like this. And also, at some point, students have to learn to exercise their own judgment about what to read, informed by conversations with caring and trustworthy adults.
“at some point, students have to learn to exercise their own judgment about what to read, informed by conversations with caring and trustworthy adults.” Exactly the issue in a nutshell!
I completely fell for it. I just eyerolled, and believed it. I don’t accept that this credulity reflects only on me! (Thanks for the laugh. At myself 😣) 👏👏
I liked seeing your hold sticker on the spine. Ours are yellow. I enjoy seeing what other people have on hold and wondering what motivated them to pick those titles.

😆 I truly believe something like this could happen!
Thanks for the mention and I’m glad you liked Crudo! She has a new book out! I can only assume the Liberty Moms won’t like it. https://www.olivialaing.com/the-garden-against-time
