To meet the library's mission statement, the selection of all materials will be made by the library committee, following but not limited to these guidelines:
- Is the subject matter handled fairly and objectively?
- Is the material covered factual, accurate, reliable, authoritative and up-to-date?
- Will the material appeal to the age or interest group for whom it is intended?
- Is the style of the material of high literary or technical quality?
- Is the physical condition of the material acceptable (i.e. free of mold, yellowed pages or water damage)?
- Do the author and publisher have good reputations for material in this field?
- Has the material been included in recent distribution lists or has it been reviewed in contemporary periodicals?
- All materials donated to the library become permanent additions to the collection.
- Donated materials that are not approved shall be disposed of by the ministry team in any manner deemed appropriate.
- Monetary gifts are welcome. The donor and library staff may confer on the items to be purchased in accordance with the library's selection policy.
- A tax deductible receipt is available upon request.
