Two free 90-minute AI classes for your patrons — no presenter fee for the library.
The Tuesday morning group at our library has evolved into the strangest book club in the county. Six of us, a retired mail carrier, two schoolteachers, a pharmacist, my husband, and me, and since February we bring our arguments with the machines and settle them over bad coffee. The pharmacist uses his program as a sparring partner on medical news stories, is this headline nonsense or medicine, and it makes him justify his own skepticism, which is healthy. One of the teachers has gotten back into chess after forty years and plays the machine at a level just above her own, and it explains each loss without pity, which she claims to hate and clearly loves. My husband brings the Bible study questions, asking the program what three different commentaries say about a difficult verse, and then bringing all three answers to the group, where the actual arguing happens. I bring the crossword words I do not know, and more usefully, the historical references, some constructor in 2026 assumes you know your Peloponnesian War, and now I do. The point is not that the machines are wise. They are not. The point is that they make each of us slightly more interesting at the table on Tuesday, better armed, better read, and easier to argue with. Loneliness is the quiet epidemic at our age. If a machine gets you back to a table with people, arguing in a warm room, it has done more work than any of its advertisements claim.

Multimodal AI works across photos, charts, audio, and text in one conversation. Show it your open fridge and ask what to cook; that is roughly today's level.
Large AI systems use real electricity and water, and companies are racing to shrink that footprint. Everyday queries are light; the honest answer is that the total is growing and being worked on.
Libraries are becoming the public's hands-on AI classroom, exactly as they were for the internet in the 1990s. Card catalogs taught lookup; today's library teaches judgment.

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.
