Collection Development Policy

I. Purpose of the Collection Development Policy

The purpose of this collection development policy is to establish the guidelines for the selection of materials in the Library’s collection. Its intent is to develop the collection to reflect the needs of the community at large and to set the parameters for the overall selection of materials.  Specific information regarding guidelines for selection and acquisition of the library’s individual collections is contained in the manual of Collection Plans. 

II. Responsibility for Collection Development

Any community member may submit suggestions for purchase of materials which will be considered on a regular basis according to the selection criteria. Collection development is carried out by assigned professional selectors. Final responsibility for the collection rests with the Director of Library Services. The Library Board has the authority to approve the collection development policy. 

III. Objectives of Collection Development:

The overall objective of collection development is to meet the varied needs and interests of the entire Tigard community by building and maintaining a responsive, inclusive, and relevant selection of materials. To meet this overall objective, the Library will acquire, organize, make available and encourage the use of materials that: 

• provide accurate, up-to-date information on a wide variety of topics, reflecting a broad span of viewpoints. 
• engage and entertain readers, viewers, and users with a range of interests. 
• offer a well-rounded collection with appeal for all. 
• reflect the reader’s experience and allow readers to learn about the experiences of others. 
• include books and other resources that accurately depict experiences of a diverse range of people. 
• support developmentally appropriate acquisition of literacy skills. 
• support learning at every age. 
• bridge the gap to technology access and tools. 
• offer timely access to in-demand works. 

IV. Collection Scope and Criteria for Selection:

Aligning with the objective of the Tigard Public Library’s collection, the overall scope of the collection is to provide materials that meet the broad and varied educational and recreational needs and interests of the entire Tigard community. Multiple copies of titles may be purchased as determined by popular demand.  The Library’s overall collection is generally in English, with individual collections in Spanish and other languages as determined by local need. The Library will select basic, representative works in most subject areas. Research collections in any subject area are beyond the scope of the Library’s collection. Although an effort will be made to collect popular works by local authors, the Library does not maintain a comprehensive local author collection.  

Due to constraints such as budget and space, the Library is not able to collect textbooks, curricula or microform, nor government documents except in cases of local significance. 

Materials acquired will be selected on the basis of the following criteria: 

1. Current and anticipated needs and interests of the public 
2. Accuracy of content 
3. Timeliness of information 
4. Author’s, creator’s or publisher’s qualifications and/or reputation 
5. Evaluations in review media 
6. Contribution to diversity or breadth of collections 
7. Presentation of unique points of view 
8. Receipt of or nomination for major awards or prizes 
9. Quality of production 

These selection standards also apply to materials received as gifts or donations. 

In the case of materials that cause harm through inaccurate or dehumanizing representations of those with identities that have been subjected to marginalization including but not limited to Black, Indigenous & People of Color, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability; prevention of harm will be prioritized over other criteria. 

The Tigard Public Library endorses the material selection principles contained in the following statements of principles adopted by the American Library Association: 

1. The Library Bill of Rights 
2. The Freedom to Read statement 
3. The Freedom to View statement 
4. Access to Library Resources and Services for Minors (formerly titled “Free Access to Libraries by Minors”) 
5. Economic Barriers to Information Access 
6. Access to Library Resources and Services Regardless of Sex, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, or Sexual Orientation 

V. Collection Maintenance

Materials which no longer align with stated objectives of the Library will be systematically withdrawn from the collection according to accepted professional practices. 

Withdrawn items will be disposed of by one of the following means: 

1. Gifts to other libraries or nonprofit organizations 
2. Book sales for Friends of the Library 
3. Recycling 
4. Discarding 

VI. Gifts

As described in the Library’s Gift Policy, the Library accepts monetary donations and gifts of materials with the understanding that gifts of materials will only be added to the collection if they meet the current needs of the collection and the criteria for materials as described in this policy.

Monetary donations for materials will be applied to the overall collection, unless a specific subject or category of materials is specified. Library materials selectors will choose titles which will meet the wishes of the donor as well as satisfy selection criteria for the collection. 

VII. Reconsideration of Library Materials

As the Library strives to provide books and other materials to meet the interests and information needs of all people in the community, there may be disagreements on the merit of various items.  Therefore, the following procedures will apply in responding to complaints:

• Recognizing that members of the community have the right to question Library decisions, the Library staff will first try to determine the basis of the individual’s request.

1. If the individual is seeking information about why the item has been selected, the matter will be handled informally by a professional librarian.  Such a request is an opportunity to explain the mission of the Library and the guarantee of our freedom to read under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
2. If the individual objects to the material being available and wishes to have the material removed from the Library or relocated within the Library, then the individual will be referred to a supervisor or manager and furnished with the “Request for Reconsideration of Materials” form, which must be filled out completely before the item will be reconsidered.  The material under question will remain in the active collection until a final decision is made.

• When the library receives a completed “Request for Reconsideration of Materials” form, the Director of Library Services will be notified, and a committee of three staff members, consisting of one staff member from Readers Services and two Library Leadership Team representatives, will review the item in question.  This review will be initiated within 10 days of the receipt of the “Request for Reconsideration of Materials” form.  After their review, the Readers Services Management group representative will communicate the response of the committee to the individual making the reconsideration request.
• If the individual wishes to contest this committee’s decision, a committee consisting of one member of the Tigard Library Board, one staff member from Readers Services and one staff member from the Library Leadership Team will then consider the comments on the form and examine the item in question.  The committee will seek reviews of the item in question and determine whether it meets the criteria in the Collection Development Policy and conforms to the guidelines as stated in the manual of Collection Plans.  This review will be initiated within 10 days of receipt of the requestor’s appeal for reconsideration of the item in question and must be completed within 60 days.  Based on the written recommendation of the committee, the Director of Library Services will decide whether to retain, withdraw, restrict or relocate the material in question and will provide a written response giving the reasons for the decision.
• If the individual inquiring wishes to contest the decision, the Director of Library Services will forward the “Request for Reconsideration of Library Materials” form to the Tigard Library Board as an agenda item for its next regularly scheduled meeting.  The Director of Library Services will also arrange for the questioner to be invited to attend the meeting.  The Board will consider the requester’s statement and the recommendation of the Director of Library Services.  The Library Board will make its decision based on the policy as stated in the Collection Development Policy in the Tigard Public Library Policies and Procedures Manual and the manual of Collection Plans.  The decision of the Library Board will be final.

Confidentiality of Library Records Policy

Background

Protecting user privacy and confidentiality has long been an integral part of the public library mission and of the Tigard Public Library. The purpose of this document is to state the Library's rules regarding requests for access to Library patron records.

Policy Statement

The Library is a member of Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) and uses the WCCLS Polaris database for maintaining patron records. The Washington County Cooperative Library Services Manager is custodian of WCCLS library records. Only the WCCLS Manager may authorize release of patron records to law enforcement officials or persons other than the card owner; these are detailed in the WCCLS procedure “Responding to Law Enforcement Requests for Information Procedures” on the Extranet.

In general, only the card owner has a right to see the information associated with their card. This includes:

• Registration information (name, registered library, patron code, original registration date, last activity date, phone number, email address);
• Items currently checked out and their due dates;
• Titles they have requested for hold;
• Searches they have saved on the WCCLS shared computer system/network;
• Reading history (a record of titles checked and returned).

Library staff may access this card owner information only in the course of official library business, with the following exceptions:

• Parents and guardians may have title and cost information for lost items of children, if the parent or guardian has the child’s card.  
• Patrons who have given permission to others by using “associated cards”; or if they have physical possession of the library card.
• Law enforcement officials with written legal authorization and with permission of the WCCLS Manager as described above.

Oregon Revised Statute 192.355(23) provides a legal basis for treating Library records with privacy and confidentiality. This state law exempts from public records disclosure:

(23) The records of a library, including:

• Circulation records, showing use of specific library material by a named person;
• The name of a library patron together with the address or telephone number, or both, of the patron; and
• The electronic mail address of a patron.

The Library has defined library records broadly to include computer usage logs, sign-up sheets, interlibrary loan requests, and all similar records created by the Library.

Exhibits or displays will be refused if they are discriminatory, include inaccurate content, or present dehumanizing depictions of those in protected classes such as race, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.  
• Members of the display committee and the Library Director have the right to review and/or decline to display materials before or during the scheduled display period. The decision of the Library Director may be appealed to the Tigard Public Library Board. The decision of the Library Board will be final.
• Displays and exhibits will be approved and scheduled as date availability and space permit. The sponsoring group or individual is responsible for creating the display, setting it up according to schedule, and removing it before the next scheduled display or exhibit.
• Exhibitors are expected to respect display equipment and fixtures by using them safely and appropriately, in line with their intended use.

The American Library Association supports equal and equitable access to all library resources and services by users of all ages. Library policies and procedures that effectively deny minors equal and equitable access to all library resources and services available to other users is in violation of the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights. The American Library Association opposes all attempts to restrict access to library services, materials, and facilities based on the age of library users.

Article V of the Library Bill of Rights states, “A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views.” The right to use a library includes free access to, and unrestricted use of, all the services, materials, and facilities the library has to offer. Every restriction on access to, and use of, library resources, based solely on the chronological age, apparent maturity, educational level, literacy skills, emancipatory or legal status of users violates Article V. This includes minors who do not have a parent or guardian available to sign a library card application or permission slip. Unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness should be able to obtain a library card regardless of library policies related to chronological age.

School and public libraries are charged with the mission of providing services and resources to meet the diverse interests and informational needs of the communities they serve. Services, materials, and facilities that fulfill the needs and interests of library users at different stages in their personal development are a necessary part of providing library services and should be determined on an individual basis.  Equitable access to all library resources and services should not be abridged based on chronological age, apparent maturity, educational level, literacy skills, legal status, or through restrictive scheduling and use policies.

Libraries should not limit the selection and development of library resources simply because minors will have access to them. A library’s failure to acquire materials on the grounds that minors may be able to access those materials diminishes the credibility of the library in the community and restricts access for all library users.

Children and young adults unquestionably possess First Amendment rights, including the right to receive information through the library in print, sound, images, data, social media, online applications, games, technologies, programming, and other formats. Constitutionally protected speech cannot be suppressed solely to protect children or young adults from ideas or images a legislative body believes to be unsuitable for them. Libraries and their library governing bodies should not resort to age restrictions in an effort to avoid actual or anticipated objections, because only a court of law can determine whether or not content is constitutionally protected.

Article VII of the Library Bill of Rights states, “All people, regardless of origin, age, background, or views, possess a right to privacy and confidentiality in their library use.” This includes students and minors, who have a right to be free from any unreasonable intrusion into or surveillance of their lawful library use.

The mission, goals, and objectives of libraries cannot authorize libraries and their governing bodies to assume, abrogate, or overrule the rights and responsibilities of parents and guardians. As “Libraries: An American Value” states, “We affirm the responsibility and the right of all parents and guardians to guide their own children’s use of the library and its resources and services.”⁴ Libraries and library governing bodies cannot assume the role of parents or the functions of parental authority in the private relationship between parent and child. Librarians and governing bodies shall ensure that only parents and guardians have the right and the responsibility to determine their children’s—and only their children’s—access to library resources. Parents and guardians who do not want their children to have access to specific library services, materials, or facilities should so advise their children. Libraries and library governing bodies should not use rating systems to inhibit a minor’s access to materials.

Libraries and library governing bodies have a legal and professional obligation to ensure that all members of the community they serve have free and equitable access to a diverse range of library resources and services that is inclusive, regardless of content, approach, or format. This principle of library service applies equally to all users, minors as well as adults. Lack of access to information can be harmful to minors. Libraries and their governing bodies must uphold this principle in order to provide adequate and effective service to minors.

Access to Library Resources and Services Regardless of Sex, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, or Sexual Orientation

An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights

American libraries exist and function within the context of a body of laws derived from the United States Constitution and the First Amendment. The Library Bill of Rights embodies the basic policies that guide libraries in the provision of services, materials and programs.

In the preamble to its Library Bill of Rights, the American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas. This concept of forum and its accompanying principle of inclusiveness pervades the Library Bill of Rights.

The American Library Association stringently and unequivocally maintains that libraries and librarians have an obligation to resist efforts that systematically exclude materials dealing with any subject matter, including sex, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation:

• Article I of the Library Bill of Rights states that “Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.” The association affirms that books and other materials coming from presses that specialize in gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender subject matter; gay, lesbian, bisexual and/or transgender authors or other creators; and materials regardless of format or services dealing with gay, lesbian, bisexual and/or transgender life are protected by the Library Bill of Rights. Librarians are obligated by the Library Bill of Rights to endeavor to select materials without regard to the sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation of their creators by using the criteria identified in their written, approved selection policies.
• Article II maintains that “Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.” Library services, materials, and programs representing diverse points of view on sex, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation should be considered for purchase and inclusion in library collections and programs. The Association affirms that attempts to proscribe or remove materials dealing with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender life without regard to the written, approved selection policy violate this tenet and constitute censorship.
• Article III and IV mandate that libraries “challenge censorship” and cooperate with those “resisting abridgement of free expression and free access to ideas.”
• Article V holds that “A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background or views.” In the Library Bill of Rights and all its Interpretations, it is intended that: “origin” encompasses all the characteristics of individuals that are inherent in the circumstances of their birth; “age” encompasses all the characteristics of individuals that are inherent in their levels of development and maturity; “background” encompasses all the characteristics of individuals that are a result of their life experiences; and “views” encompasses all the opinions and beliefs held and expressed by individuals. Therefore, Article V of the Library Bill of Rights mandates that library services, materials, and programs be available to all members of the community the library serves, without regard to sex, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation. This includes providing youth with comprehensive sex education literature.
• Article VI maintains that “Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.” This protection extends to all groups and members of the community the library serves, without regard to sex, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.

The American Library Association holds that any attempt, be it legal or extra-legal, to regulate or suppress library services, materials, or programs must be resisted in order that protected expression is not abridged. Librarians have a professional obligation to ensure that all library users have free and equal access to the entire range of library services, materials, and programs. Therefore, the Association strongly opposes any effort to limit access to information and ideas. The Association also encourages librarians to proactively support the First Amendment rights of all library users, regardless of sex, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.

Economic Barriers to Library Access

An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights

The core mission of most libraries, and particularly publicly funded libraries, is to provide free, equal, and equitable access to all types of information. While libraries may have different roles, goals, and objectives, this mission is shared by all. Economic challenges can affect a library’s ability to fulfill this mission and can also create barriers for individual users.

Libraries and their governing bodies sometimes face economic pressure and competition for funding. Even so, they must remain committed to the library’s core mission. To support this mission, the American Library Association (ALA) offers guidance in the Library Bill of Rights and related policies. In particular, the Library Bill of Rights states: “A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views.”

The ALA opposes economic barriers for access to services and resources in all publicly funded libraries. All library resources should be accessible to all users, regardless of format or delivery method. This ensures equitable access for everyone. Libraries should not impose any financial barriers that may disadvantage users. Libraries of all types should eliminate barriers that limit access to library resources and services.

Libraries should thoughtfully design services to deliver information and resources equitably to all users. They should regularly review these services to ensure that the library’s core mission stays intact.

The “Resolution on Monetary Library Fines as a Form of Social Inequity” states that fines create a barrier to accessing library services.1 Libraries should review policies and procedures related to fines, fees, or other user charges.

Libraries should work to remove any policies that create barriers to access or academic success. They should also consider waiving or reducing fees for individuals based on their ability to pay. This may include fees for:

• lost or damaged items;
• borrowing fees for non-residents; or
• program participation.

 Economic barriers go beyond a user’s ability to pay fines or fees. Many policies and procedures unfairly harm people who:

• are struggling financially;
• are experiencing homelessness; or
• come from marginalized communities.

Examples of such policies include those about:

• personal belongings;
• hygiene requirements;
• verifying a permanent address; and
• accessing an email account, phone number, or computer.

These policies can restrict or deny access for some community members by singling out certain users and reinforcing inequalities.

Libraries and their governing bodies should find other ways to reduce differences between users based on economic status. They should resist charging user fees to address financial pressures, as these can harm public trust and the library’s integrity. Policies should not favor those who are economically fortunate at the expense of those who are not.

The ALA opposes any laws or regulations that impose content restrictions on library resources as a condition of funding. It also opposes efforts to limit user access to resources or services tied to funding for publicly supported libraries.

Libraries and their governing bodies should review all terms and conditions attached to funding or gifts, whether from public or private sources. They should reject any conditions that limit equal or equitable access to content. They should also work to build community agreement that libraries require funding free from conditions that limit equal or equitable access to content. Such an agreement supports the library’s mission of providing free and open exchange of information and ideas.

Freedom to Read Statement

The freedom to read is essential to our democracy. It is continuously under attack.  Private groups and public authorities in various parts of the country are working to remove or limit access to reading materials, to censor content in schools, to label “controversial” views, to distribute lists of “objectionable” books or authors and to purge libraries.  These actions apparently rise from a view that our national tradition of free expression is no longer valid; that censorship and suppression are needed to counter threats to safety or national security, as well as to avoid the subversion of politics and the corruption of morals.  We, as individuals devoted to reading and as librarians and publishers responsible for disseminating ideas, wish to assert the public interest in the preservation of the freedom to read.

Most attempts at suppression rest on a denial of the fundamental premise of democracy:  that the ordinary individual, by exercising critical judgment, will select the good and reject the bad.  We trust Americans to recognize propaganda and misinformation, and to make their own decisions about what they read and believe.  We do not believe they are prepared to sacrifice their heritage of a free press in order to be “protected” against what others think may be bad for them.  We believe they still favor free enterprise in ideas and expression.

These efforts at suppression are related to a larger pattern of pressures being brought against education, the press, art and images, films, broadcast media, and the Internet.  The problem is not only one of actual censorship.  The shadow of fear cast by these pressures leads, we suspect, to an even larger voluntary curtailment of expression by those who seek to avoid controversy or unwelcome scrutiny by government officials.

Such pressure toward conformity is perhaps natural to a time of accelerated change.  And yet suppression is never more dangerous than in such a time of social tension.  Freedom has given the United States the elasticity to endure strain.  Freedom keeps open the path of novel and creative solutions, and enables change to come by choice.  Every silencing of a heresy, every enforcement of an orthodoxy, diminishes the toughness and resilience of our society and leaves it the less able to deal with controversy and difference.

Now as always in our history, reading is among our greatest freedoms.  The freedom to read and write is almost the only means for making generally available ideas or manners of expression that can initially command only a small audience.  The written word is the natural medium for the new idea and the untried voice from which come the original contributions to social growth.  It is essential to the extended discussion that serious thought requires, and to the accumulation of knowledge and ideas into organized collections.

We believe that free communication is essential to the preservation of a free society and a creative culture.  We believe that these pressures toward conformity present the danger of limiting the range and variety of inquiry and expression on which our democracy and our culture depend.  We believe that every American community must jealously guard the freedom to publish and to circulate, in order to preserve its own freedom to read.  We believe that publishers and librarians have a profound responsibility to give validity to that freedom to read by making it possible for the readers to choose freely from a variety of offerings.

The freedom to read is guaranteed by the Constitution.  Those with faith in free people will stand firm on these constitutional guarantees of essential rights and will exercise the responsibilities that accompany these rights.

We therefore affirm these propositions:

1. It is in the public interest for publishers and librarians to make available the widest diversity of views and expressions, including those that are unorthodox, unpopular, or considered dangerous by the majority.
   
   Creative thought is by definition new, and what is new is different.  The bearer of every new thought is a rebel until that idea is refined and tested.  Totalitarian systems attempt to maintain themselves in power by the ruthless suppression of any concept that challenges the established orthodoxy.  The power of a democratic system to adapt to change is vastly strengthened by the freedom of its citizens to choose widely from among conflicting opinions offered freely to them.  To stifle every nonconformist idea at birth would mark the end of the democratic process.  Furthermore, only through the constant activity of weighing and selecting can the democratic mind attain the strength demanded by times like these.  We need to know not only what we believe but why we believe it.
2. Publishers, librarians, and booksellers do not need to endorse every idea or presentation they make available.  It would conflict with the public interest for them to establish their own political, moral, or aesthetic views as a standard for determining what should be published or circulated.
   Publishers and librarians serve the educational process by helping to make available knowledge and ideas required for the growth of the mind and the increase of learning.  They do not foster education by imposing as mentors the patterns of their own thought.  The people should have the freedom to read and consider a broader range of ideas than those that may be held by any single librarian or publisher or government or church.  It is wrong that what one can read should be confined to what another thinks proper.
3. It is contrary to the public interest for publishers or librarians to bar access to writings on the basis of the personal history or political affiliations of the author.
   No art or literature can flourish if it is to be measured by the political views or private lives of its creators.  No society of free people can flourish that draws up lists of writers to whom it will not listen, whatever they may have to say.
4. There is no place in our society for efforts to coerce the taste of others, to confine adults to the reading matter deemed suitable for adolescents, or to inhibit the efforts of writers to achieve artistic expression.
   To some, much of modern expression is shocking.  But is not much of life itself shocking?  We cut off literature at the source if we prevent writers from dealing with the stuff of life.  Parents and teachers have a responsibility to prepare the young to meet the diversity of experiences in life to which they will be exposed, as they have a responsibility to help them learn to think critically for themselves.  These are affirmative responsibilities, not to be discharged simply by preventing them from reading works for which they are not yet prepared.  In these matters values differ, and values cannot be legislated; nor can machinery be devised that will suit the demands of one group without limiting the freedom of others.
5. It is not in the public interest to force a reader to accept the prejudgment of a label characterizing any expression or its author as subversive or dangerous.
   The ideal of labeling presupposes the existence of individuals or groups with wisdom to determine by authority what is good or bad for others. It presupposes that individuals must be directed in making up their minds about the ideas they examine.  But Americans do not need others to do their thinking for them.
6. It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians, as guardians of the people’s freedom to read, to contest encroachments upon that freedom by individuals or groups seeking to impose their own standards or tastes upon the community at large; and by the government whenever it seeks to reduce or deny public access to public information.
   It is inevitable in the give and take of the democratic process that the political, the moral, or the aesthetic concepts of an individual or group will occasionally collide with those of another individual or group. In a free society individuals are free to determine for themselves what they wish to read, and each group is free to determine what it will recommend to its freely associated members.  But no group has the right to take the law into its own hands, and to impose its own concept of politics or morality upon other members of a democratic society. Freedom is no freedom if it is accorded only to the accepted and the inoffensive. Further, democratic societies are more safe, free, and creative when the free flow of public information is not restricted by governmental prerogative or self-censorship.
7. It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians to give full meaning to the freedom to read by providing books that enrich the quality and diversity of thought and expression.  By the exercise of this affirmative responsibility, they can demonstrate that the answer to a “bad” book is a good one, the answer to a “bad” idea is a good one.
   The freedom to read is of little consequence when the reader cannot obtain matter fit for that reader’s purpose. What is needed is not only the absence of restraint, but the positive provision of opportunity for the people to read the best that has been thought and said.  Books are the major channel by which the intellectual inheritance is handed down, and the principle means of its testing and growth.  The defense of the freedom to read requires of all publishers and librarians the utmost of their faculties, and deserves of all Americans the fullest of their support.

We state these propositions neither lightly nor as easy generalizations. We here stake out a lofty claim for the value of the written word. We do so because we believe that it is possessed of enormous variety and usefulness, worthy of cherishing and keeping free.  We realize that the application of these propositions may mean the dissemination of ideas and manners of expression that are repugnant to many persons.  We do not state these propositions in the comfortable belief that what people read is unimportant.  We believe rather that what people read is deeply important; that ideas can be dangerous; but that the suppression of ideas is fatal to a democratic society.  Freedom itself is a dangerous way of life, but it is ours.

Freedom to View Statement

The Freedom to View, along with the freedom to speak, to hear and to read, is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.  In a free society, there is no place for censorship of any medium of expression.  Therefore, these principles are affirmed:

1. To provide the broadest access to film, video and other audiovisual materials because they are a means for the communication of ideas.  Liberty of circulation is essential to insure the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression.
2. To protect the confidentiality of all individuals and institutions using film, video and other audiovisual materials.
3. To provide film, video and other audiovisual materials which represent a diversity of views and expression.  Selection of a work does not constitute or imply agreement with or approval of the content.
4. To provide a diversity of viewpoints without the constraint of labeling or prejudging film, video or other audiovisual materials on the basis of the moral, religious or political beliefs of the producer or filmmaker or on the basis of controversial content.
5. To contest vigorously, by all lawful means, every encroachment upon the public’s freedom to view.

This statement was originally drafted by the Freedom to View Committee of the American Film and Video Association (formerly the Educational Film Library Association) and was adopted by the AFVA Board of Directors in February 1979. This statement was updated and approved by the AFVA Board of Directors in 1989.
