Challenged Materials

When a patron has a complaint about the subject matter of an item:

1.Give him/her the Request for Reconsideration of Library Materials form to fill out. Print Form Here

2.Give the completed form to your Manager/Director.

Please do not make any comments about the material.

The explanation on this form reads:

“Our library’s mission is to select and acquire a wide variety of materials for access by all library patrons. The library seeks to provide information on all sides of every issue, even if that issue is controversial. Librarians do not serve as censors for any material or for any age group, since we believe that everyone, regardless of age, should be free to form their own opinions. The library values your opinion. If you do have an objection to any library material(s), please complete this entire form, outlining your concerns as concisely as possible. A librarian will respond to your inquiry in the near future. Thank you.”
