The library has one Bulletin Board and one section of the Circulation desk designated to distribute informational materials. Both areas are divided into Library and Community sections.

 The Community section is to be used for the display/distribution of recreational, educational and cultural events taking place in Schiller Park, Leyden Township, Chicago and surrounding areas. Priority will be given to the above communities based on the stated order.

All materials requested to be distributed/posted must be approved by the Library Director If not, it will be removed.

The Community areas have limited space; therefore, large displays may not be posted. The Library recommends the largest poster to be poster board size (16″x 20″).

Posters announcing meetings will be removed after the meeting. Other items will be removed after thirty days, unless there is space available and the item is considered to be of general interest. Items directly concerned with the library will be displayed as long as appropriate.

Bulletins/Materials do not necessarily express the opinion of the Library, Trustees or Staff. Items will be posted or made available on an equitable basis, subject to available space, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of the individuals or groups represented.
