Banned Books and Back to School

As Banned Books Week approaches, Eugene Public Library Director Angela Ocana joins Inside Eugene for a timely conversation about the right to read, the role of public libraries, and what’s at stake in today’s national and local debates over censorship. Angela shares her perspective as a longtime librarian and national advocate for intellectual freedom, offering insight into how recent court decisions may shape access to materials in our state. We also explore the library’s back-to-school offerings—from free tutoring to student cards—and highlight some of the lesser-known resources available to all Eugenians. Whether you’re a parent, a reader, or a freedom-to-read supporter, this episodeoffers a powerful reminder of why libraries matter more than ever.
