School Library Bill of Rights:
FOR SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER PROGRAMS
Approved by the American Association of School Librarians Board
of Directors, Atlantic City, 1969
The American Association of School Librarians reaffirms its
belief in the Library Bill of Rights of the American Library
Association. Media personnel are concerned with generating
understanding of American freedoms through the development of
informed and responsible citizens. To this end the American
Association of School Librarians asserts that the responsibility
of the school library media center is:
- To provide a comprehensive collection of instructional
materials selected in compliance with basic written selection
principles, and to provide maximum accessibility to these
materials.
- To provide materials that will support the curriculum, taking
into consecration the individual's needs, and the varied
interests, abilities, soci-economic backgrounds, and maturity
levels of the students served.
- To provide materials for teachers and students that will
encourage growth in knowledge, and that will develop literary,
cultural and aesthetic appreciation, and ethical standards.
- To provide materials which reflect the ideas and beliefs of
religious, social, political, historical, and ethnic groups and
their contribution to the American and world heritage and
culture, thereby enabling students to develop an intellectual
integrity in forming judgments.
- To provide a written statement of the procedures for meeting
the challenge of censorship of materials in school library media
centers.
- To provide qualified professional personnel to serve teachers
and students. |
