Library of Congress’ Post

This September 6th, the Library of Congress will celebrate 25 years of the National Book Festival, a yearly celebration of authors and literary works of all kinds. As the festival approaches, look back at highlights from the 2005 book festival featuring appearances by George R.R. Martin and Meg Cabot. Stay tuned for more highlights from past festivals in the coming weeks and mark your calendars for this year's festival on September 6th. https://lnkd.in/eKUZ9D6z #library #libraryofcongress #NBF #NationalBookFestival #2005 #throwback

As we move into the era of AI-augmented knowledge, it is essential that our libraries evolve beyond traditional books and publications. Innovations like the AI-Augmented Scientific Immortality System transform how we preserve and extend the intellectual legacy of humanity—not as static texts, but as living, adaptive digital personas capable of continuous learning and scientific reasoning. These digital scientific personalities are no longer science fiction; they represent a new class of intellectual assets that leading libraries must recognize, curate, and protect. Modern libraries should act as custodians of these AI-driven legacies, ensuring they are accessible, ethically managed, and integrated into future research ecosystems. This is not just preservation — it’s active continuation of human scientific thought. #ScientificImmortality #DigitalLegacy #AI #FutureOfKnowledge #NextGenLibraries #RAVANTIS

Keep up the good work.
