Bulletin Boards & Materials Distribution Policy

Wayland Free Public Library provides a limited amount of bulletin board space in the library for individuals and groups in the community to display civic, cultural, and educational information and announce events and services that are of general and current interest. These types of materials are different from the library’s collection of print and non-print materials and are not selected by library staff. Community calendars, information from local non-profits, and government information are examples of appropriate items. Display of events or information does not imply library endorsement.

The library does not accept responsibility for this material, and reserves the right to dispose of any material left in the lower lobby at any time. Anything posted on walls, doors, or windows will be removed. All notices, flyers, and brochures should be brought to the Circulation Desk to be date stamped. Small notices are encouraged and oversized posters may be rejected. The library cannot accept responsibility for the preservation or protection of materials posted or distributed. Once notices are removed, they are discarded.

For all bulletin boards and materials distribution areas in the library, materials should be appropriate for all ages. Individuals wishing to leave materials for distribution are asked to request permission from the Library Director.  This need not be a formal written request.
