Library materials should be chosen for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all the people of the community. No library  materials should be excluded because of the sex, age, race, nationality, or the social, political, or religious views of those contributing to their creation.   Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view concerning the problems and issues of our times. No library materials should be proscribed or removed from libraries because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.   Censorship should be challenged by libraries in the maintenance of their responsibility to provide public information and enlightenment.   Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgement of free expression and free access to ideas.   The right of an individual to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of sex, age, race, religion, national origin, or social or political views.   Libraries which maintain meeting rooms, exhibit space, or other facilities open to the public should make them available on equal terms to all persons, regardless of their beliefs or affiliation.   Rules Approved:  May 20, 1975  By San Luis Coastal Unified School District          Revised:      June 5,   1979       San Luis Obispo, California [Page 2 of 2]          Back to Page 1   Back to BlessedCause home page
