Harrison Ford should have played more villains.

There's something dark in him anyway, but the casualness he exudes with explosive violence really stands out.

In retrospect, "Chubby Checker" is a truly bonkers name or AKA, and no generation has the title for strangest musical artist names.

The library will not give AI a library card.

The library allowed our algorithm to test an early Halloween playlist.

So far we've heard "Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels, "Demons" by Imagine Dragons, and "Shout at the Devil" by Motley Crue.

Not sure this is going to work.

The library believes there are miracles happening everyday if you look hard enough.
Just today, we had a book that had been checked out over two decades come back to the library and nobody called the news.
Truly astonishing times.

The library found a few books to level out the study room table this week.

Don't worry, they were just biblical texts on morality. Nobody looks for those.
