  *   How to report: Complete a form<https://www.cognitoforms.com/StateLibraryOfOregon/intellectualfreedomincidentreportform> for each incident by July 31. Reports are confidential unless you tell us otherwise. You can choose to include your name and contact information if you would like to be contacted for support.

  *   Why report: We use your reports to compile an annual report<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/c.php?g=843530&p=6029009#s-lg-box-wrapper-22490343> that summarizes challenges in our state. We also report data to the ALA Office of Intellectual Freedom<https://www.ala.org/aboutala/offices/oif>.
