Do you trust the answers you get from #AI-powered chatbots, such as ChatGPT? Do you trust yourself to recognise a right answer from a wrong one?
A Cambridge-developed platform called CheckMate allows users to evaluate the performance of chatbots.

"Books and other materials are professionally selected by librarians based on reviews, community demand for books and diversified content." #UniteAgainstBookBans
"Contrary to misinformation campaigns of censorship advocates, libraries do not carry illegal information or books — but they do harbor inconvenient truths." — Kent Oliver, senior fellow with ALA @LibraryPolicy

‘Above literature?’ said the Queen. ‘Who is above literature? You might as well say one was above humanity.’

‘Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.’
William Faulkner, born #onthisday in 1897.

With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one — but no one at all — can tell you what to read and when and how. DORIS LESSING
