Each type of material is considered in terms of its own merit and its intended audience. Wherever possible, the Library will provide materials to anticipate the needs and interests of potential users. Gift materials will be judged by the same standards that apply to purchased materials. The collection is maintained by retaining or replacing essential materials and removing, on a systematic and continuous basis, those works that are worn, outdated, or no longer in demand. No library materials shall be excluded based on expressions of race, religion, nationality, or political or social views.
Censorship is a purely individual matter.
The library does not stand in loco parentis. The Library Bill of Rights. The Freedom to Read Statement adopted by the American Library Association. The Restricted Access to Library Materials Statement, and The Free Access to Libraries for Minors Statement, all of which are made a part hereof. Appeals may be submitted to the Board in writing.
