Section 700



BULLETIN BOARD POLICY



The primary use of bulletin boards will be for library purposes. As a center for information, the library will cooperate with government and local non-profit, civic, cultural, recreational, and educational organizations by displaying their materials if the following criteria are met:

  1. Exhibit materials to be displayed must be submitted for approval to the Library and are subject to review by the Library Director and Library Board or their designee.

  2. No organization or individual shall be permitted to display or exhibit any materials which advocate the election or defeat of any candidate for office, or which advocate any affirmative or negative vote for or against any proposition.

  3. Due to limited display space, the Library reserves the right to restrict the size, number, and location of display materials. The time span during which the materials are exhibited will be determined by the Library.

  4. The Library assumes no responsibility for the content of the notices or materials, nor for possible damage or theft of materials.

  5. Items posted are done so for informational purposes only. Posting does not imply endorsement by the Library.

  6. Soliciting funds, except for library purposes, is not permitted.

  7. No organization or individual shall be permitted to place in the Library any box, receptacle, or canister which solicits donations, except with the permission of the Library Board.

  8. Posters announcing fundraising programs sponsored by any local non-profit organization may be displayed provided there is space available.

  9. Petitions may not be posted in the Library.

  10. Any item posted or displayed must clearly state the name of the sponsoring organization and contact telephone number for further information and/or clarification.
