Display of Posters, Pamphlets and Flyers Policy

The library is a public forum for ideas and information. Access to ideas and information is fundamental to our social, political and cultural heritage. In order to carry out this purpose, the library adopted the following policy concerning the display of information on posters, pamphlets and flyers:

• Public posters, pamphlets and flyers will be displayed as space permits on a first-come, first-served basis on library bulletin boards or spaces set aside for this purpose.
• Materials submitted cannot exceed 16" by 20" except by special permission of the Branch Manager.
• Only one item will be posted per event or function.
• Any materials submitted that (a) would tend to incite or produce imminent lawless action, (b) are obscene, (c) are obviously false or contain misleading information, (d) are defamatory, (e) or are purely commercial advertising will not be posted.
• Any questions regarding this policy should be referred to the Branch Manager. Final authority rests with the Director.
