Policy
for COMPLAINTS CONCERNING MATERIALS
Milton Public Library in accordance with guidelines recommended by the American
Library Association Bill of Rights provides materials with opposing points of
view on controversial issues. If a book is challenged the following procedures
should be followed.
When a complaint is made:
The person making the complaint is referred to the Director of the Library.
The Director will give the person making the complaint a copy of both the Library’s
Acquisitions Policy and the Request for Reconsideration of Material which should
be filled out and returned to the Director.
With the formal request in hand the Library Committee (Library Director, Assistant
Director, two other librarians and one Trustee) will review the materials in question.
The library Director will show evidence of two reviews of the materials.
The Committee will make a final determination as to the disposition of the challenged
materials based on the reviews and Materials Selection Policy.
