CENSORSHIP
- The Morrisville Public Library
recognizes that many materials are controversial and that any given may offend
some patrons. Selections will not be made on the basis of any anticipated
approval or disapproval, but solely on the merits of the works in relation to
the building of the collection and to serving the diverse interest of the
users.
- The Library recognizes that censorship is a
purely individual matter and declares that while anyone is free to reject for
him/herself any Library material which he does not approve of, he cannot
exercise this individual right of censorship to restrict from others the
freedom to read or view.
- The responsibility for the reading
or use of Library materials by children rests with their Parents and legal
guardians. Selection of Library
materials will not be inhibited by the possibility that books may inadvertently
come into the possession of children.
- The library has adopted the
Library Bill of Rights, the Freedom to Read, and the Freedom to View Statements
as adopted and revised by the American Library Association.
