This week on Ally Radio, we look at the rise of book challenges across the country and explore what is happening in northern Nevada. While public libraries are seeing less attention for book challenges, schools and school libraries have become the latest area for conflict.

Then, we bring an interview with Tahoe author Alenka Vrecek about her book, She Rides, which chronicles her adventures from Lake Tahoe to Mexico.

Listen to new episodes every Friday at noon on KNVC, 95.1FM, Carson City Community Radio, and wherever you listen to podcasts. You can listen to the latest audio news reports from our team on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or by searching “Sierra Nevada Ally” wherever you listen.
