The responsibility for the selection of materials for the Library collection rests with the Library staff. All or some of the following criteria are considered when selecting items for the collection:
❖ Not all the works by an individual author may be considered for purchase
❖ The Library does not purchase textbooks to support educational curriculums
❖ Self-published materials must meet selection criteria
Children’s and Teen materials must meet the above criteria, but other factors are considered for selection:
❖ Some materials in the Children’s or Teen Collections might not be considered appropriate by all adults for all readers. While some materials are too mature for one reader, other readers may be ready for them. Only each reader and their parent or caregiver can decide what material is suitable.
