Non-Collection Materials
18.3 NON-COLLECTION MATERIALS POLICY
As a service to the community, the Canby Public Library chooses to consider non-collection materials that may be of value to the community. Such items would include information from nonprofit cultural, educational and civic organizations in both the city and the local area. All items must be approved in advance by Library Staff. Commercial, religious and partisan political campaign materials will not be displayed.
Some examples of qualifying non-collection materials include, but are not limited to, the following organizations:
- City of Canby agencies
- Groups such as advisory boards that support City functions
- Public agencies, schools and colleges
- Nonprofit groups having 501(c)3 status engaged in business in the City of Canby
- Sponsors of events that further the City of Canby and its objectives
- Government publications (such as tax forms and voters’ guides)
The Library reserves the right to refuse to post or display any materials which, in its judgment, does not meet Library criteria. The Library also reserves the right to remove and dispose of any items not approved in advance or not meeting Library criteria as stated in section 18.2 above. Acceptance of materials for display or posting does not imply approval or disapproval by the Library of the ideas or opinions expressed.
Appeals Process
Either additions to or rejections of non-collection materials may be appealed in accordance with Policy 8.4 ( Reconsideration of Materials) in the Canby Public Library Policy Manual, Rev. April 2022.
