The collection of the library media center will be continuously evaluated. Material that for any reason no longer meets the evaluative criteria or the needs of the school and its curriculum will be withdrawn from the collection. In addition, materials which are outdated, unused, or worn beyond usage will be withdrawn from the collection. Gifts and Memorials Gift materials added to the collections of the library media centers must meet the same criteria as the materials selected for purchase. They are accepted with the understanding that, if they do not meet the criteria, they may be disposed of at the discretion of the library medial specialists.
All donations become the property of the school.
The selection of materials for memorial gifts should be made by the library media specialists. However, if the individual or group would prefer a list of materials for their selection, such a list will be provided. Reconsideration of Library Materials Procedures Occasional objections to instructional materials in a library media center may occur despite the quality of the selection process. The Mountain Brook Board of Education endorses the principles of intellectual freedom inherent in the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Objections to materials may be expressed through the process outlined below by a member of the school's faculty or the parent or guardian of a child in the schools.
