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.

Trump Has ALREADY Attacked Libraries This action is the first step in dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services and eliminating federal funding for libraries.

This action will deliver a devasting blow to America's commitment to preserving museum and library services.

We know this won't end here.
