Librar y �i 11 of Ri?hts and the :reedcm tc> :`cad Sta:e''-ent adv_ ted y
the American Library Association. See A--n 1 and 11 . In
subscribingto these principles T L affiru.-s its belief in the
following basic policies:
a. As a responsibility of library service, books and other
materials should be chosen for . ..
alues O: : t;:^eSZ., _nrOrcat_ OT. ani
er_lightment of all the people of ;,he cu=nunity. in no case :mould
any book be excluded because of the race, nationality or the pol e icai
or religious views of the writer.
b. There should be the fullest practicable provisions of
material presenting all points of view corcerninc the problems and
issues Of our times, international , national and local ; and books
or other materials of sound factual authority should not be Droscribed
or removed from library shelves because of partisan or aoctrinal
disapproval.
C . Censorship of books, urged or practiced by volunteer arbiters
of morals or political opinion or by organizations which would
establish a coercive concept of Americanism, must be challenged
by libraries in maintenance of their responsibility to provide public
information and enlightment through the recorded word .
d. Since it is possible to make a mistake in applying these
principles, the Head Librarian stands ready to review individual
aecisions upon written request. See Appenai}: III. Such materials
will l-';en be reconsidered by the Head Librarian and the Board .
TSL recognizes the need for careful evaluation and selection
of materials which meet the needs and reci:ests of the comrunity,
preserves a balance in the ideas and apinions represented and meets
the criteria of accuracy, objectivity and sincerity, avoiding those
which are consciously sensational or carelessly presented. In
selecting materials the Library will strive to include:
a. Books and materials which document the past.
b. Books and materials which thoughtfully interpret the ideas
of the past.
c. Books and materials which offer a record of the times

slbllity for a Child ' s reading must rest with the ;parent or guardian,
not with the library. Children' s reading cannot be monitored in
the library; librarians will use professional jud`ments in ap:.roving:
requests for circulation, but librarians cannot know the maturity
of every child nor know every parent ' s wishes in this area.

what others think may be bad for then. We believe they £t_ 12 favor
tree enter ise in ideas and e1: recs,cn.
We are aware , of cOorse , ..het boo?:s a_'e not alone in J_E:ig
Subjected to efforts at Cu-.);ression. We are aware that these ef.- or:s
are related to a larger -attern of pressu-res Le'.in`, brought a-alnst
education, the press, films, radio and television. The problem is
not only one of actual censorship. The shadow of fear cast by these
Pressures leads, we suspect, to an ever, l �_ ^or voluntary cilrta !meet
of expression by those who seek to avoid controversy.
Such pressure toward conforr..ity is Perhaps natural to a time of
uneasy change and p-reading fear. Especially when so many of our
apprehensions are directed against an ideology, the expression of a
dissident idea becomes a thine feared in itself, and we tend to move
aoalnst it as against a hostile deed , with suppression.
And yet suppression is never nore dan.-ercus than in such a
time of social tension. Freedom has given the United States the
elasticity to endure strain. Freedom keeps open the path of novel
and creative solutions, and enables change to come by choice. Every
silencing of a heresy, every enforcement of an orthodoxy, diminishes
the toughness and resilience of our society anc leaves it the less
able to deal with stress.
Now as always in our history, books are among our greatest
instruments of freedom. They are almost the only means for making
generally available ideas or manners of expression that can initially
command only a small audience . . They are the natural medium for the
new idea and the untried voice from which come the original contri-
butions to social growtr. They are essential to the extended dis-
cussion which serious thought requires, and to the accumulation of
knowledge and ideas into organized collections.

2. Publishers and librhrians do not need to enJorse eve= _-ea
or DreSenta.tion contained in the bock:' they make available. 12
would conflict with the public interest for them to establish their
own Dolitical, r,oral or aesthetic views as the sole standard for
ete_m_ ,.7 what books should be -ibli shed or circulated .
Publishers and librarians serve the eoucat_enal :,rocess by
hel5ing to make available }Knowledge and ideas reelsired for the
growth of the mind and the increase of lea:'ning. They do not fester
education by imposing as mentors the patterns of their own thought .
The Deople should have the freedom to read and consider a b-oa6er
range of ideas than these that nnay be held by any single librar-an
or publisher or government or church. It is wrong that what One
man can read should be confined to what another thinks Drover.
3. It is contrary to the public interest for Dublishers or
librarians to determine the acceptability of a book solely on the
basis of the personal history or the political affiliations of the
author.
A book should be judged as a book. No art or literature can
flourish if it is to be measured by the political views or Drivate
lives of its creators. No society of free men can flourish which
draws up lists of writers' to whom it will not listen, whatever
they may have to say.
4. The present 1- ,- - dealing with obscer_i ty should be vigorously
enforced. Beyond t'--. t.h -re is no place in our society for extra-
legal efforts to co - _-c '.,ie tasteof others, to confine adults to the
reading matter deemeu :;uitable for adolescents, or to inhibit the effor-
of writers to achieve artistic exDression.

major channel by which the intellectual inheritance is handed dowri,

Dear Tom:
In response to your letter of August 18, 1977, requesting a clarification
of the stipulations placed upon Mr. Fred Fields' property by the NPO #5
Plan, the City Council has provided a statement of their intent.
The amendments to the NPO X65 Plan text deleting planning mills; shops, sheet
metal, machine and welding; and sash and door manufacture from the permitted
use category in 'the M-3 zone would not preclude their consideration as
conditional uses. Therefore, anyone wishing to locate one of the deleted
permitted uses in the subject area would have the right of a hearing
according to the procedures set out for consideration of a conditional
use. Obviously there are certain types of small shops and wood working
businesses which could be compatible in the area which includes Mr.
Fields' property. The intent therefore, is to set up a review process,
via the conditional use procedures, to screen out those uses which
may be unsuitable.
I hope this letter adequately clarifies the question posed in your letter.
Sincerely,
Dick Bolen
Planning Director
