Public Library Policy Collection
Do your library’s policies need some work and review? If you’re looking for examples from other libraries, we have just the perfect resource.
The Public Library Policy Collection is available for anyone to search, browse and download example library policies.
Bear in mind that any policy you utilize should be reviewed and customized according to your local and state laws. And of course, it’s always best practice that you discuss major changes with your board (even seeking approval).

Guide for Understanding Strident Claims
About the Electronic Resources in Your Library or School
Schools and libraries possess the expertise and responsibility to choose, license/buy and manage digital content useful to their local communities.
Some individuals in Colorado are attacking libraries and librarians for doing that work, and are claiming that databases and e-book collections are full of pornography. Previously, these individuals have demanded a statewide ban of all databases and certain e-book products. Lately, the demands are for schools and libraries to discontinue their licenses to products from EBSCO, Gale/Cengage, Proquest, Overdrive and other library vendors.
This updated guide will help the reader better understand these claims, and offers suggestions for libraries and schools in how to address such attacks.
