Items that publicize community organizations and local events further the role of the library as the central source for civic, cultural, educational, and recreational information.
The community bulletin board in the lobby may be used by community organizations, civic clubs, cultural, religious and educational groups to advertise events and for the library and city to advertise job openings. It may not be used for commercial or political advertising or for personal profit (i.e. for sale items, positions wanted).
All information must be approved for posting by one of the librarians before posting.
Public information will be left posted for a three-week period. Items may be left posted for longer than three weeks if space permits. If space becomes limited, preference will be given to items of a timely nature and to organizations or groups that have not recently posted items.
Preference will be given to posters or signs no larger than 12 inches by 12 inches. Larger signs will be posted if space permits.
The Library does not accept responsibility for the return of public information items.
Display of items by the Library does not indicate endorsement of the issues, events, or services promoted by those materials. Items left or posted without approval will be removed and discarded.
