EXHIBIT A
BOOK SELECTION POLICY
The Gilroy Public Library and the Santa Clara County Free Library have
adopted as the book selection policy for the Santa Clara Valley Library System
the Library Bill of Rights of the American Library Association which is as
follows:
"1. As a responsibility of library service, books and other
reading matter selected should be chosen for values of interest,
information and enlightenment of all the people of the community.
In no case should any book be excluded because of the race or
nationality, or the political or religious views of the writer.
2. There should be the fullest practicable provision of material
presenting all points of view concerning the problems and issues
of our times, international, national, and local; and books or other
reading matter of sound factual authority ohould not be proscribed
or removed from library shelves because of partisan or doct~inal
disapproval.
3. Censorship of books, urged or practiced by volunteer arbiters
of morals or political opinion or by organizations which would
establish a coercive concept of Americ3nism, must be challenged by
libraries in maintenance of their responsibility to provide public
information and enlightenment through the printed word.
4. Libraries should enlist the cooperation of allied grcups in
the fields of science, of education, and of book publishing in re-
si8t~ng all abridgment of the free ac~e~s to ideas and full freedom
of expression that are the tradition and heritage of Americans.
5. The rights of an individual to the use of a library should not
be denied or abridged because of his race, religion, national origins,
or political views.
6. As an institution of education for democratic living, the
library should welcome the use of its meeting rooms for socially use-
ful and cultural activities and discussion of current public questions.
Such meeting places should be available on equal terms to all groups
in the community regardless of the beliefs and affiliations of their
members.
The above Library B1ll of Rights shall be interpreted to apply
to all materials and media of communication used or collected by
libraries. "
