SECTION: Bulletin Board, Public Use NUMBER: 581 EFFECTIVE DATE: 12-08-92 PAGE: 1 of 1

Bulletin boards may be designated by the Library Manager for use by community groups. Libraries may designate other bulletin boards for library use only. Some library facilities may not have community bulletin boards. Community bulletin board space is available only to organizations engaged in civic, educational, cultural, or non-profit activities. The Library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints of any group or individual. Postings must meet community standards for good taste in presentation, the library, however, welcomes a broad spectrum of opinion and a variety of viewpoints. Postings planned by a company to promote, advertise or lead to sale of its products and services are not permitted. Individual libraries develop criteria regarding the size of material displayed and the length of time materials remain on the community bulletin board. Display materials are considered disposable and library staff may remove and discard as necessary. Use of community bulletin board space is free of charge.
