Here's a recommended book-list-interview, for a UK publication. For everyone who has had enough of discourse (as I certainly have): it has a tiny mention of Nolan as the hook, but then we move on to some reading. www.countryandtownhouse.com/culture/emil...

It's fun to work in a huge, incredible, sprawling collection because every once in a while I'll be like, "What is in that envelope that has clearly not been opened in decades" and the answer will be something like a first-day printing of the United States Constitution from Sept. 1787

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

A student in my history fellowship program has placed her blog posts on the Bayside Historical Society’s webpage. It’s part of a program where I place students in local historian’s offices across NYS. Do us a favor and share this. I’d like her posts to get some hits. Thanks, friends. It’s good work.

Nothing is more pleasing to me than when my crackpot ideas actually come to fruition and become brilliant plans. Can’t say more right now, but Literary Philly is shaping up to be the coolest English class ever.
