Reconsideration of Materials Policy
APPROVED: Board of Supervisors
 Date: 2/17/98, Section: 3104

1. In the selection of materials the Mohave County Library District follows the guidelines of the American Library Association and the Arizona Library Association as expressed in the Library Bill of Rights and interpretations of the Library Bill of Rights approved and endorsed by the Arizona Library Association in its Intellectual Freedom Manual for Arizona Libraries, as those documents comply with federal and Arizona statutes.

2.  The Library seeks to maintain a balance of materials expressing a variety of views but not necessarily maintaining a numerical balance on all subjects.

3. Responsibility for selection of and access to materials by children and young adults is not assumed by the Library.  It is the right of parents and guardians only to determine restrictions for their children.

4. Selection of materials for the Library will not be inhibited by the possibility that materials may come into the possession of children.

5. The Library collection will be organized and maintained to facilitate access.

Individuals or groups within or without the Library objecting to any portion of the Library's collection are requested to state their opinions in writing, using the "Request for Reconsideration of Library Materials".
This form is available at all Branch and Station libraries or may be obtained through the Library District administrative office.
