We're back! Libraries, we love them, we need them, so why are they the source of so much debate? We welcome Huntington Beach City Councilor Rhonda Bolton to discuss the book censorship that is upending their library and the move to potentially privatize the library services to a private equity backed company.

Then we welcome stand up comedian and writer Katy Flaherty @katyflahertycomin to get Oddly Specific about my favorite episode of the 1990 Scholastic Productions classic The Babysitters Club: Claudia and the Mystery of the Secret Passageway.
