The DVD collection is most popular! More movies (of all ratings type) will be placed available this week.
I would like to update staff so you know that many years ago the Homer Library adopted as part of our policy the ALA Freedom to Read and ALA Freedom to View statements. Copies are in the staff kitchen. We do not restrict materials to anyone. This includes DVDs. The ratings included on DVDs are recommendations and not legally restricted. More information is here: http://www.mpaa.org/RatingsParentInfo.asp
The Board believes reading, listening, and viewing choices are individual, private matters. People are free to select or reject materials for themselves and their own minor children but are not to infringe upon the freedom of others to read or inquire. Homer Library District does not stand in place of the parent (in loco parentis). Parents and guardians have the responsibility to guide and direct the reading, listening and viewing choices of their own minor children and adolescents.
In the event that someone may inquire if we restrict DVDs or other material, please feel free to direct them to the Library Director (me) or provide them with a comment sheet. Thank you!
