Bulletin Boards

As space allows, the Library will post notices on the lobby bulletin board and/or put out pamphlets that meet these criteria.

BULLETIN BOARD POLICY

Mt. Angel Public Library has a role as a community center for the display and promotion of non-profit cultural, educational, and civic events in Mt. Angel and Marion County. AS SPACE ALLOWS, the Library will post notices on the lobby bulletin board and/or put out pamphlets that meet the following criteria:

Non-profit: The event advertised may have a charge, but no profits are gained. It is not for a commercial enterprise.

Educational: Functions for public and private schools, home school groups, and non-profit groups supporting education.

Cultural: Cultural, non-profit groups or events.

Civic: Notices for events sponsored by local government or civic groups that are of cultural or educational interest.

In all cases, preference will be given to:

  • Library sponsored events and groups such as the Friends of the Library. Other bulletin boards and pamphlet space in the library are reserved for library postings.
  • Beyond Library events, “non-partisan” local/community information and events.

All postings and pamphlets must be submitted to Library staff at the Circulation Desk and will be dated and posted as soon as possible and as space allows. Generally, no posting will remain on the bulletin board for more than three weeks.

The Library reserves the right to refuse to post and the right to remove announcements, posters, displays, and pamphlets or exhibits which in its judgment; do not meet the above criteria.

Acceptance of materials for display does not imply approval or disapproval by the Library of the ideas or opinions expressed. The Library assumes no liability for the quality or safety of any goods or services which may be the subject of postings, displays or pamphlets.
