Policy Statement
In keeping with Rampart Library District’s overall philosophy of providing access to a wide range of information sources, the District provides public bulletin boards for announcements and notices of local community events as well as local business information. Each branch may designate other racks and spaces for distribution of free materials which may be of interest to library patrons at the discretion of the director and/or delegates.
Guidelines
- All notices, flyers and literature must be approved and placed on the bulletin board or in the display spaces by a staff person designated by the director. Staff may discard items not approved for placement as well as excess copies.
- Items posted will be dated and initialed by library staff. Staff will keep the bulletin board and display spaces up-to-date. Space available will determine how far in advance items will be posted as well as when they are removed.
- Items will be posted or made available on an equitable basis, subject to available space, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of the individuals or groups represented.
- Generally, events/services posted on the bulletin board should be available to the general public at no charge. Events or services by nonprofit or governmental organizations may be posted even if an admission fee is required.
- No items devoted solely to the sale, solicitation or promotion of commercial products or businesses are allowed. Items may not be offered for sale by individual companies.
- Posting of a notice or placement of materials in a display rack does not imply endorsement by the Rampart Library District or its Board of Trustees.
