• Download Draft Policy No. 4021: School Library Media Inventories

The Board of Education recognizes it has broad discretion in managing and operating the schools of the  District, including in selecting library materials, and it has delegated authority to district and school  administration in this matter. The Board of Education also recognizes the importance of freedom of  inquiry and study, the constitutional and First Amendment restrictions on the suppression of ideas, and  that school libraries offer a place and opportunity for the exercise of intellectual freedom and the right to  read, inquire, study, and evaluate outside of the setting of formal instruction. The Board of Education  further recognizes that school libraries are different from public libraries in that they are not open to the  public, primarily serve the school’s students (who are minors), and are part of the instructional resources  of the school. The Board has adopted this policy to serve and balance these interests while considering the  values of the community.

Access to Library Media Materials

Student access to library materials is based primarily on self-selection. Library staff and teachers are  available to consult with students and with the parent or guardian of students to find appropriate materials  but are not responsible for final selections of the student. If a student’s parent/guardian wishes to restrict  that student’s access to any particular library item (a specific work or title), the parent/guardian may  submit a written request to the school via F1: Request to Restrict Library Materials Access.

Selection of Library Media Materials

School library materials have been acquired over a long period of time. Current collection titles will  annually be reviewed by the school library specialist, the school principal, and the district library  specialist. New library materials shall be acquired by school library specialists, with the approval of the  district library specialist. Pornographic materials shall not be selected for inclusion in school libraries. In  selecting books for school libraries, staff consider the following factors:

• 与核心标准的相关性
• 考虑教师、家长和学生的要求
• Favorable reviews and award winners/nominees from recognized book/library associations • Potential appeal and interest
• Artistic quality and literary style
• 作者、制片人或出版商的声誉和重要性
• 国家、地区或群体的独特性、多样性和/或遗产
• 支持第二语言学习者
• 支助有特殊需要的学生
• 整个作品的价值

Removal of Library Media Materials

School library media specialists, under the guidance of a district library specialist, periodically remove library  materials from the school library for the following reasons:

• 身体状况差
• 学生不使用/退房
• 包含不准确或过时的信息

In addition to the prior factors, library materials shall be removed from school libraries if they are deemed  to contain sensitive material by a District Materials Review Committee, as outlined in Board Policy 4022 (Evaluation and Reconsideration of School Curriculum and Instructional Materials)
