*PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** Register directly on Zoom HERE. We are so excited to chat with author Lynn Raebsamen, a finance expert and tech enthusiast, who shines a light on the Artificial Intelligence that just knocks the fear out of us. She'll be chatting about her book, "Artificial Stupelligence: The Hilarious Truth About AI", the laugh-out-loud guide to the brilliance—and blunders—of AI. We hope you can join us for this fun and informative event!  RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. About This Book: Ever had AI mistake you for a jewel thief or got trapped in a self-driving car on an unwanted sightseeing spree? Welcome to Artificial Stupelligence, the laugh-out-loud guide to the brilliance—and blunders—of AI. From fraud detectors gone rogue to chatbots spiraling into existential crisis, Lynn Raebsamen pulls back the digital curtain to reveal the truth (and hilarity) behind the headlines—offering undeniable proof that humanity isn’t doomed… yet. This isn’t your typical AI 101 textbook. Forget dry, jargon-filled lectures—this is AI explained through belly laughs and “aha” moments. With fun metaphors and speculative glimpses into AI’s future, you’ll get a deep dive into machine learning, large language models, natural language processing, and other AI essentials—without crashing your system. If you enjoyed the witty scientific explorations in Randall Munroe’s “What If?”, you’ll love this book’s humorous deep dive into the world of AI, where we answer equally intriguing questions about our silicon-brained overlords-to-be. Even the Reviews are Hilarious: “This book is so good, even my autocorrect stopped correcting ‘stupelligence.‘” — Verified Human Reviewer, I Swear “I learned more about AI from this book than from all my failed attempts to program a Roomba to fetch me beer.“ — The Aspiring Robot Butler “The only AI book that made me snort coffee through my nose. Twice.” — Overcaffeinated Reader, Probably “A brilliantly funny take on technology’s not-so-bright side. I laughed, I cried, I unplugged Alexa.“ — Definitely Not Written by ChatGPT About Lynn: Lynn Raebsamen is a finance expert and tech enthusiast with a knack for turning complex concepts into hilarious stories. With a global career bridging finance and technology, Lynn has guided numerous businesses through the maze of digital transformation, witnessing firsthand the triumphs and hiccups of cutting-edge tech adoption—including the occasional AI-driven mishap. When not decoding the latest AI trends or penning witty tech tales, Lynn can be found carving up the world’s finest powder on skis—probably while pondering how AI might one day revolutionize the perfect snow forecast. Please register for this event and you'll receive the link in the confirmation and reminder emails - make sure to check your spam folder for them, the email will be coming from Zoom.

To register and submit any questions for the author, please visit: https://libraryc.org/boydenlibrary/79011. You’re invited to join us online with award-winning author Rex Ogle as he talks to viewers about his struggles to navigate sixth grade as written about in his book Free Lunch. Instead of giving him lunch money, Rex’s mom has signed him up for free meals. As a poor kid in a wealthy school district, better-off kids crowd impatiently behind him as he tries to explain to the cashier that he’s on the free meal program. The lunch lady is hard of hearing, so Rex has to shout. Free Lunch is the story of Rex’s efforts to navigate his first semester of sixth grade—who to sit with, not being able to join the football team, Halloween in a handmade costume, classmates and a teacher who take one look at him and decide he’s trouble—all while wearing secondhand clothes and being hungry. His mom and her boyfriend are out of work, and life at home is punctuated by outbursts of violence. Halfway through the semester, his family is evicted and ends up in government-subsidized housing in view of the school. Rex lingers at the end of last period every day until the buses have left, so no one will see where he lives. Unsparing and realistic, Free Lunch is a story of hardship threaded with hope and moments of grace. Rex’s voice is compelling and authentic, and Free Lunch is a true, timely, and essential work that illuminates the lived experience of poverty in America. Register now to join the conversation! About the Author: Rex Ogle is the author of Free Lunch, winner of the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Award; Punching Bag, a New York Public Library Best Book; Abuela Don’t Forget Me, finalist for the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Award; and Road Home, which received a Printz Honor and a Stonewall Book Award Honor.
