Flyers, Posters, and Handout Materials

The Chambers County Library System provides a venue for the exchange of information concerning items of interest to all members of the community. Flyers and other posted materials will be accepted as part of the library mission.

Materials will not be accepted which are construed as partisan, commercial, or religious in their purpose, or which further any one individual’s goals.

The main entrances of the library are reserved for library-specific notices. Other posters, when approved, are placed where the public has access to them.

Flyers and handouts will be retained no more than 6 months from their approval date, unless a determination is made to retain them for their value to the library patrons. Once the items have been presented to the library system, they cannot be returned to the distributors.

The libraries, as popular community sites, are natural venues for distribution of materials. They are also seen as ideal sites for the placement of collection boxes for various charity drives, etc. Any group desiring to use the libraries for this kind of project must present this request in writing, with a statement of the project, the group undertaking the project, what time frame is involved, and an understanding that the library system will determine placement of the collection box and the amount of space available. Prompt and frequent checks on the collection materials should be made to maintain the library system good will.

The County Librarian or the Library Advisory Board will provide the determination as to whether items may be placed in a library facility.
