Display and Distribution of Non-Library Materials

Display and Distribution of Non-library Materials Policy 
Bulletin Boards and Literature Racks 
Some bulletin boards and display racks in the library are set to allow community groups and 
individuals space to publicize information of general interest to area residents. 
Programs and events publicized through the library’s community-information areas should be 
compatible with the library’s purpose of providing educational, cultural, recreational, and 
information services to the community.  The presence of a poster, brochure, flyer, or any other 
notice in the library does not necessarily indicate that the library either advocates or endorses 
the viewpoints expressed. 
Materials to be posted must be approved by the director or his or her designee. Materials posted 
without approval will be removed.  Permission shall be given based upon the limitations of display 
space, the timeliness of the material, and the relevance of the material to the civic, educational, 
informational, cultural, recreational, or vocational life of the community.  Local organizations and 
events may be given preference.  The library will not display personal advertisements, or for
profit or commercial materials.  Political materials may provide information on ballot issues only 
and will be non-partisan.
