๐Ÿ“š It's Library and Information Week! ๐Ÿ“š
This year's theme is Truth Be Told.
In a world where information can be shaped, stretched, or buried, libraries help us cut through the noise. By supporting information and media literacy, libraries empower communities to question, verify, and understand what they encounter online.

We asked library staff to take a quiz to see if they could tell the difference between Real and AI generated images. On average we got 78% correct!

Can you tell the difference? Take the quiz and find out: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zqnwxg8
