Readers, attendees, and creators alike need to let them know there’s no place for GenAI in the arts, period.

I do have some #libfaves25 honorable mentions! I really enjoyed these!

The final day of #libfaves25. My favorite book of 2025. I got all my teammates to read it, and they all loved it. Honestly, I could not believe it is a debut novel. THE NAMES by Florence Knapp.

#libfaves25 day 9: GAYSIANS by Mike Curato. Gorgeous and heartbreaking and I loved it.

She is so nice!!

Can't believe we're in the last three titles of #libfaves25! Day 8: FLIRTING LESSONS by Jasmine Guillory. I got to meet her at the Aspen Literary Festival, and told her how unfair it was of her to just spill my secrets to the world lol.

Read and loved FUNDAMENTALS OF BEING A GOOD GIRL by Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone.

I don't know why this York story doesn't get the national attention that others have. It needs it. This board just destroyed the public library. Again.
