SCLD Policies / Distribution of Community-Interest Informational Materials

Spokane County Library District provides space in each Library for free distribution of limited numbers of informational brochures, flyers, and other types of publicity materials from government agencies, non-profit organizations, community organizations, and educational institutions related to community services, programs, and events.

The District does not accept items promoting religious doctrines or partisan political materials, petitions, or commercial advertising.

Acceptance of items for distribution does not constitute or imply District endorsement or sponsorship.

1. The District reserves the right to determine suitability and quantities of material and to dispose of unused materials. If space is limited, priority will be given to activities and events of interest to the local community served by the library.
2. In accepting items for distribution, the District assumes no responsibility for monitoring quantities remaining, reordering, or reporting when supplies are low.

The Director is responsible for establishing administrative procedures necessary to carry out this policy.
