On the newest edition Oregon Grapevine, host Barbara Dellenback speaks with Nancy Pearl . Nancy regularly speaks about the importance and pleasure of reading. She is a best-selling author, librarian, and literary critic, and has spent her life promoting reading as one of the most beneficial and joyful experiences anyone can have.

KLCC’s Barbara Dellenback hosts Oregon Grapevine, conversations with people who are actively and passionately creating the present and future in which they wish to live. The show takes its name from Oregon's state flower, the Oregon Grape, and through it you'll hear candid and compelling conversations on arts and activism, political lobbying, the future of libraries, and unique perspectives on current events. If you know people taking creative and perceptive action, and making unusual choices in these times, please send us an email.
