The Library's collection is protected by the First Amendment and Article 1 Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Alaska. Selection Responsibility Ultimate authority for materials selection rests with the Library Director. Collection management includes assessment of community needs; establishment of policy and budget to support those needs; me selection, acquisition, and cremation of materials; and evaluation of the colEection and its effectiveness. This policy does not replace the judgment of individual librarians and only provides guidelines to assist them in choosing from the vast array of available materials.

No book and/or library material shall be excluded because of the race,. nationality m the political or social views of the author, c.

There is no single standard which can be applied in all acquisition decisions. Some materials are judged in terms of artistic merit, scholarship, or value.

Acquisitions are based upon the merits of a work in relation to the needs, interests, and demands of the community. Reference - Reference materials are :meant to provide quick, concise, and current information or they may serve as an index to other materials in the collection. They are typically used daily by the public and Library staff to answer soecificquestions and are designed by the arrangement and treatment of their subject matter to be consulted for definite items of information rather than to be read consecutively. Materials in the reference collection are designated for use within the Library, whether in print or computer -based formats, Periodicals— are selected according to the following criteria; cost; requests by library users or City of Kenai employees; whetherthe periodical has local or regional interest; and whether a subject area reeds to be expanded to help balance the collection.

Attempts will be made to purchase relevant materials from other polar regions if they complement the existing collection. Genealogy collection — materials are purchased by or with the cooperation and under the advice of the local genealogical society— the Totem Tracers. This is a growing collectior. suitable for the beginning genealogist who then can proceed to the more in -depth research using resources available for loan or on the Internet.

Self- Published Materials The Library does not purchase self-published materials that are not reviewed in established review journals. Exceptions will be made for high- demand materials and /or those of local interest. WEEDING AND COQ LEUION MAINTENAN c It is the policy of the Library to develop and maintain collections which meet patron, needs for current and retrospective information and which further address cultural, educational and recreational needs and interests of the community. Weeding is an on-- -going process essential to this end. When information in material becomes dated and misrepresentative of current knowledge or the materials themselves Page 11 become damaged beyond use or are no longer in demand, they will be removed from the coliection. In general items are evaluated when they have been used or circulated for years. Sources such as Fiction Catalog, Public Library Catalog, and Children's Catalog are checked before a specific title is discarded. PEP LACEMENT It is the responsibility of the director to assess the need for replacing material that is destroyed or lost from the collection. GIFT 5 All material presented to the Library as gifts is subject to the same scrutiny and review as that purchased. The Library reserves the right to dispose of gifts as it deems appropriate material received as gifts may be included in the coliections, used in the Friends of the Library book sales or discarded. The Library cannot appraise the value of donated materials but can provide an acknowledgement of receipt of the Items if requested by donor. s?uM Library patrons can voice their objections asto the suitability of particular materials in the collections by filling out a formal form "A Request for Review of Library Materials '. During the time of the review challenged materials will not be removed from the collection, Director will read or view the material in Its entirety, check the reviews and recommended bildJographies and will present a written recommendation to the City Manager and the Library Commission. The Library Commission will hear patron appeal if the Directors recommendation does not meet patron's approval. intellectual Freedom. I he Library Advisory Board, Library Director and Library staff recognize the responsibility of the Library to provide materials representing the diverse needs, interests, backgrounds, cultures, and social values of the community. Librarians are inclusive In collection development and in the provision of interlibrary loan. The presence of an item in the Library does not indicate an endorsement of its content by the Library. Library materials are not marked or identified to show approval or disapproval of the contents and access is not restricted beyond what is required to protect materials from theft or damage. The standards stated in this policy apply equally to the materials for children. The Library believes that individuals may reject for themselves and their children —and only for their children — materials which 'they find unsuitable. Parents who wish to limit or restrict the use of the Library by their children should personally oversee their selections. The principles expressed in the following documents are basic to this policy and are Page 12 incorporated herein.
