Purpose The library serves as an information resource for the entire community and seeks to make information available to all area residents on a wide variety of political issues and candidates. However, in order to avoid the appearance of an endorsement by the library of any candidate for office or issue appearing on the ballot, a policy with respect to political activity on library premises has been adopted. Political Literature The library will provide space for campaign literature or position papers and make these available at the library for inspection and distribution. The library will make campaign literature available from any and all candidates or issues, but the library makes no claim as to the accuracy of the information. It is the responsibility of the candidate, not the library, to ensure that an adequate supply of literature is available for distribution. All political information will be removed in the library within 60 feet of the polling area on Election Day. Petitions No candidacy or issue petitions will be circulated or posted at the library. Use of Library Facilities for Political Activity
As paid representatives of the library, it is understood that PPL staff members have an obligation to maintain the political neutrality of the library, and as a consequence will refrain from any active or passive campaign activities while on library premises. |
