Free Access To Library Materials And Services |
 |
| Free access to all library materials
and services will not be restricted because of age,
race, religion,
national
origins or social or political views, in accordance
with Article V of the Library Bill of Rights. In deference
to the right of parents and guardians to determine
the extent of their children’s access to and
use of library materials and services, the St. Charles
Public Library District will not impose restraints
on access and use by children.
In accordance with Article V of the Library
Bill of Rights, the St. Charles Public Library District
assures
free access to its holdings and services for all registered
patrons. It is the freedom of the individual to select
or reject any item. Children are not limited to the juvenile
collection, which is housed separately in order to facilitate
maintenance and use. Responsibility for a child’s
use of the Library, including his reading, must rest
with the parent or guardian, not with the Library which
cannot act in place of the parent. Librarians are available
to provide reader guidance.
Effective immediately, no new, renewal,
or replacement card will be issued to a child who is
18 years old or
younger without the parent or guardian’s signature
on the registration card stating that the parent or guardian
accepts responsibility for the child’s selection
of materials and for the physical condition of those
materials.
