Trustees Approve Statement on Censorship

Categories:

At their April 24, 2023 Monthly Meeting, the Board of Library Trustees approved a Statement on Censorship, which reads:

Intellectual freedom is a right for all and libraries are tasked with providing reliable information, quality service, and diverse resources in order to enable that right. We respect the right of patrons to decide which materials are appropriate to their individual circumstance, however, no individual or group has the right to restrict access to others.

The Board of Trustees endorses and follows The American Library Association’s Bill of Rights, which states that a library serves all members of the community, offers diverse materials, and condems censorship.
