MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — An Eagle Point man has been accused of stealing nearly 400 books from Rogue Valley libraries.

Christopher Storrer has been banned from all Rogue Valley libraries while he awaits trial.

The Medford Mail Tribune reports Storrer’s reading tastes tended toward political philosophy. Among the titles were works by Stephen Hawking, Michael Focault and Umberto Eco.

Jackson County Deputy District Attorney Allan Smith calls Storrer’s home library “a fairly eclectic collection.”

The 24-year-old has been indicted on theft, robbery and criminal-mischief charges.
