“We experience writing as a way of transmitting an author’s state of mind, or set of emotions, to our own,” Louis Menand writes. But, today, digital systems can generate replicas of sentences that sound just like the authors we love. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

“The purpose of punctuation is to make writing easier to read,” Louis Menand writes, “and making writing easier to read means giving greater and greater numbers of people access to the written word.” A new book by Florence Hazrat, celebrating punctuation in all its forms, makes the striking claim that the history of punctuation is the history of humanity itself.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of @DollyParton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

As more and more students begin using A.I. to complete assignments, professors across the country are changing their approach—and losing their hope. “My emotional response to all this is hard to describe, something between disgust and despair,” a history professor writes. “Was it always the case that half of our students would cheat if it were easy enough?” Jay Caspian Kang collects testimonials from 12 faculty members from across the country on how A.I. usage in the classroom has changed their work.
