PUB-01 Public Information Space

Public information space (such as community bulletin boards and literature rack space, where available) may be used only by organizations and individuals engaged in informational, educational, cultural, or non-profit activities in the community. The library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints of any group or individual displaying material. The library welcomes a broad spectrum of opinions and a variety of viewpoints.

Postings planned by an organization or individual to promote, advertise, or lead to the sale of products and services are not permitted.

Display materials are considered disposable, and library staff may remove and discard as necessary.

Campaign information relating to ballot issues and candidates may be submitted to the library for distribution to the public no earlier than 30 days prior to the election. Library staff will discard campaign materials the day after the election. (Yard signs and promotional giveaways will not be permitted.)

All materials for display must be approved by library staff. Any materials placed on display without approval will be discarded. Permission shall be granted based upon the limitations of display space, the timeliness of the material, adherence to community standards for good taste in presentation, and the relevance of the material to the community. Every effort will be made to display all approved materials, but limited space may impact the duration of time materials will be available.
