BULLETIN BOARD AND HANDOUTS POLICY
The Edith Wheeler Memorial Library maintains a community-notice bulletin
board and makes free-distribution handouts available in order to provide
the residents of Monroe and the surrounding communities with information
on cultural, educational, recreational, civic, or service-oriented
events and issues.
Posters and handouts will be placed in the library at the discretion
of the Library Director based on space available, date of the event,
and length of time the library has displayed the material. Acceptance
of posters and handouts does not constitute or imply endorsement by
the library or by the Town of Monroe. The Library reserves the right
to reject materials that are deemed inappropriate.

The library will display bulletin board posters and notices from non-profit sources publicizing events and issues that conform to the purposes stated above. All materials for the bulletin board must be initialed and dated by the Library Director or his/her designee to indicate permission to post. Items lacking such permission will be removed. Bulletin board items will be put up and taken down by library staff only.
