All Libraries stand strongly for the freedom of thought, the freedom of intellectual activity, and the freedom of communication. Therefore, in materials selection policies, Libraries must select with the view to present all sides of an issue, not just one particular opinion. For this reason, this Library subscribes to the philosophy, policies, and spirit set forth by the American Library Association's "Bill of Rights". This document supports the guarantee of freedom of the press as stated in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The Library also upholds the ALA Council's Freedom to Read Statement and the Freedom to View Statement from the Educational Film Library Association.
