Really pleased to be included in Newcity’s 2025 Lit 50 list recognizing people shaping Chicago’s literary world.

I talked about projects I love - One Book, One Chicago, support for emerging writers, and adult AI literacy programs.

Featured alongside CPL Commissioner Chris Brown. I’m proud that the public library’s work - especially programming - continues to get citywide attention.

Newcity Lit · Lit 50 2025: Institutions, Advocates and Programmers | Newcity LitForty years ago, the first Printers Row Lit Fest was staged in the canyon between the old printing houses on Dearborn Street. To commemorate these forty years and to honor our literary community, we asked the city’s literary figures to meet us at the district’s most storied watering hole, Kasey’s Tavern, and photographed them around the street we’ve called home all this time.

My final essays:

The latest newsletter is out from For The People, a group working to strengthen and defend public libraries. This issue has an excellent report on the group's project to collect governance related data about every U.S. public library system, data that surprisingly aren't collected by any national library organization. #LibraryDefenders #PublicLibraries librariesforthepeople.substack

One thing I’ve been trying to do more lately is go to the library every week. I have couple of books checked out already, so today I got some books for the kid. We’re gonna start reading the Bad Guys series. We did a trial run with a digital version and he loved it! (Yes I’m the annoying parent who makes all the voices while reading books). This is the one thing I truly want to teach my kiddo - love of reading #books #PublicLibraries

Libraries Are Priceless — And They Need Our Support otherwords.org/libraries-are-p

Beyond carrying books and DVDs, libraries provide essential programs and resources to the people they serve. While every library is unique, offerings include: helping students with homework or research, reading and literacy programming for children of all ages, as well as English language, GED, and citizenship classes.
