Complaints

Formal objection to library materials must be made in writing according to “Procedures for Handling Complaints about Library Materials” provided at the end of this section.

Examination and reconsideration of materials, if necessary, will be handled as outlined in these procedures.

A copy of these procedures as well as forms for registering complaints may be obtained from the administration office.

The Fox Lake Public Library District subscribes to the provisions of the Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom to Read Statement as adopted by the American Library Association.

These documents are considered a part of this policy.

All individuals have the right to choose which library materials they will use.

However, no one has the right to restrict the freedom of others to read whatever they wish.

No book or other material in question is automatically removed from the collection because of an objection to it.
