 Are you a library author/maintainer that's considering **using Telemere in your library**?
 
-You have **two options** below-
+You have **a few options** below-
 
 # Options
-## 1. Common logging facade (basic logging only)
 
-Many libraries need only basic logging. In these cases it can be beneficial to do your logging through a common logging facade like [tools.logging](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging) or [SLF4J](https://www.slf4j.org/).
+## Modern logging facade
 
-This'll limit you to basic features (e.g. no structured logging or [rich filtering](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#get-filters)) - but your users will have the freedom to choose and configure their **preferred backend** ([incl. Telemere if they like](./3-Config#interop)).
+[Trove](https://www.taoensso.com/trove) is a minimal, modern alternative to [tools.logging](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging) that supports all of Telemere's structured logging and rich filtering features.
 
-## 2. Telemere as a transitive dependency
+Basically:
 
-Include [Telemere](https://clojars.org/com.taoensso/telemere) in your **library's dependencies**. Your library (and users) will then have access to the full Telemere API.
+1. You include the (very small) Trove dependency with your library
+2. Your library logs using the [Trove API](https://github.com/taoensso/trove#to-choose-a-backend)
+3. Your users then [choose](https://github.com/taoensso/trove#to-choose-a-backend) their preferred backend (Telemere, etc.)
+
+This would be my first recommendation, and is what I'm planning to use for future updates to [Sente](https://www.taoensso.com/sente), [Carmine](https://www.taoensso.com/carmine), etc.
+
+## Traditional logging facade (basic logging only)
+
+Many libraries need only basic logging. In these cases it can be beneficial to do your logging through a common traditional logging facade like [tools.logging](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging) or [SLF4J](https://www.slf4j.org/).
+
+Though these'll limit you to basic features (e.g. no structured logging or [rich filtering](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#get-filters)).
+
+## Telemere as a transitive dependency
+
+You could just include [Telemere](https://clojars.org/com.taoensso/telemere) in your **library's dependencies**. Your library (and users) will then have access to the full Telemere API.
 
 Telemere's [default config](./1-Getting-started#default-config) is sensible (with println-like console output), so your users are unlikely to need to configure or interact with Telemere much unless they choose to.
