So...we've been tracking your use of our web player, and guess when you’re listening the most (weekdays)...and the least (weekends)? Y’all really love to listen at work, don’t you? 😂

A thread on our response to AI 🧵 ✅ We will never knowingly prioritize, publicize, nor market AI-narrated/generated audiobooks. ✅ Recommendations on Libro are from real, live booksellers and our team, not algorithms. ✅ Our customer support team is made of real people, not bots.

Because of booksellers and readers, Texas HB 1375—the latest censorship attempt—died without a vote. We're grateful for the many booksellers and readers who made their voices heard. Their efforts show just how powerful our voices are 💓

Bookish propaganda we’re not falling for (you can't fool us, sorry!): 🎧 “Listening on audio doesn't count as reading.” 📚 “Amazon is the best place to buy books.” 🎥 “The movie was better.” 🛍 “It's one or the other: libraries or indie bookshops.” ❌ “It's not book censorship.”

Because of you, we raised over $55,000 in support of public libraries during National Library Week 💓 (At least one of our team members cried seeing that number. Okay, fine, it was me.) Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated, shared, or showed support for their library in other ways.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day 📚 Not everyone can always get to their library. It’s important for kids, for people to build their home libraries. To discover books they love so much they reread them over and over and over again. Enter one of the library’s greatest friends… the indie bookstore 💛
