We respect the right of student choice in book selection in keeping with Intellectual Freedom and Self-Censorship, which states the following (in student terms):

"Reading is a joy, a privilege, and the right of every student. As you select the library books you will read, please understand that every book is not the best choice for every student. If a book is unappealing or offensive to you in any way, please return it and select another. You, the student, know better than we, the library staff, what reading materials best serve you and your standards and beliefs."

*Intellectual freedom is the right of every individual to both seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction. Intellectual freedom encompasses the freedom to hold, receive, and disseminate ideas.
