PETITIONS, CAMPAIGNS AND SOLICITING

The Board of Trustees of the San Miguel County Public Library District #1 adopts and makes public the following written policies.

The public sidewalks outside of the Wilkinson Public Library, not under the control of the Library, provide appropriate places for free speech activities provided the activities do not create a dangerous situation, interfere with access and use of the library, damage property or create unnecessary maintenance expense for the Library. Individuals may circulate petitions or provide information outside the Library as long as access to the entrances and exits are not blocked or access is not impeded.

Requests for signatures on petitions and stopping people to give information in any other form is not permitted within the Library.

The Library will provide limited election table space for the display of campaign materials related to candidates or issues in local and national elections. Such information does not constitute endorsement by the Library.

The Library or other organizations/individuals may schedule political programs or debates to help inform voters about issues or candidates in an election and appropriate campaign material may be distributed by the program participants.
