Two free 90-minute AI classes for your patrons — no presenter fee for the library.
While everyone was arguing about ChatGPT, the public library was quietly assembling one of the best AI toolkits in town, and you already own the key. The card. Start with Libby, the reading app most systems offer. It is not labeled AI, but the recommendation engine underneath it, the thing suggesting your next book based on everything you have borrowed, is the quiet kind, and it is very good indeed at the narrow job of knowing that a woman who loved Elizabeth Strout will probably love Anne Tyler. Then the research databases. Your library card unlocks things the open internet does not have, newspaper archives going back a century, genealogy indexes, repair manuals for the car, and several of these now have question boxes on top, so you ask in plain English instead of learning their ancient search rituals. That is a chat window over a serious library, which is the best of both worlds, real sources underneath, no invented citations. Some systems in our region are beginning to offer the general chat programs themselves, on the library computers, with someone nearby who has been trained to help, which matters if you do not own a computer or do not want your questions on your own device. Ask at the desk, the answer is more often yes than most people expect. The pattern to notice is the one this whole site is built on. The loud AI gets the headlines. The useful AI has been sitting in your wallet, next to the coffee shop punch card, this entire time.

Every AI you can use today is narrow: excellent at one job, clueless outside it. A general AI matching human flexibility across tasks does not exist yet, whatever the headlines imply.
Text, images, music, voice, video, and code are all generative now. Results can be striking, free versions carry limits, and the best outputs still need a human editor.
AI already helps read scans, draft notes, and handle medical paperwork; the visit with an actual clinician is not going anywhere. Used well, it hands your doctor minutes back per patient.

No. Nothing is sold or pitched in the room, and patrons never pay to attend. Take-home materials are free.
None, and here is the model: your first two classes cost you nothing, we collect attendance and feedback, and the next library books us because yours proved it works. Repeat classes after that are a modest honorarium sized to your budget.
A room, chairs, and wifi. We bring the projector, adapters, a backup hotspot, printed handouts — every attendee leaves with a printed AI cheat sheet.
