Selection Policy

How we select books...
     We use trustworthy review sources such as ALA and YALSA to find the most current and high quality literature to enlighten, challenge, and entertain our patrons. Our selections reflect the understanding of human dignity without exception, the presentation of various points of view, and the idea of broadening our world view.
     Once you've suggested a book, please be patient. Each book must be assessed using review sources for accuracy, age-appropriateness, and content. If the book is approved, it will be put on a prchase list. Click HERE to see Mrs. Duggan's selection criteria.
 Please see the rights and responsibilities page for information concerning a reader's freedoms.
