Expression of Concern Policy

FDPL strives to provide all patrons with fair and equal access to library materials, resources, and programs.  The Library’s role is to provide opportunities that will allow individuals to freely examine subjects and make their own decisions.  The choice of library materials or resources by users is an individual matter.  While patrons may reject materials, resources, or programs for themselves, they may not restrict the freedom of access to these things by others.

The Board of Trustees and Library Director recognize that some patrons may take issue with the inclusion of specific items, programs, or practices and may wish to express their concerns.  Management team members are available to discuss concerns and identify alternate materials that may better meet the needs of the concerned individual.
