The Hoyt Lakes Public Library may provide for the distribution, display or posting of free public materials (including handouts, flyers, posters, advertisements, brochures, or other materials) for public awareness. Consistent with the Library Bill of Rights, these items may represent diverse points of view.

Posted information and displays are limited to:

• Educational information
• Artistic/cultural programs and services
• Information from or about community or civic organizations
• Material from other organizations that partner with the Hoyt Lakes Library

Except in unusual circumstances, fund-raising advertisements and activities will be limited to those that directly benefit the Hoyt Lakes Public Library.

No informational postings, displays, or free public materials may be place in the Library without advance permission of the Library Director or the Director’s designee. The location for placing materials is at the discretion of library staff. The Hoyt Lakes Public Library reserves the right to remove any material, including previously approved material, at any time and for any reason, including general appearance or timeliness.

Approval to distribute, display, or post public materials does not indicate that the Hoyt Lakes Library endorses a particular idea, cause, organization, or activity, nor does denial of approval indicate the converse.
