The XYZ Public Library
Model Policy - Materials in Languages other than English
The XYZ Public Library strives to have a collection that reflects
the diversity of the population it serves. To that end, part of
the collection development budget will be allocated to purchase
materials in the preferred language of residents who are not native
speakers of English. Materials considered for purchase will be evaluated
as much as possible under the same guidelines and policies used
for English-language materials. When necessary, staff will seek
assistance in the selection of materials from appropriate community
members. Citizen recommendations are always welcome and appreciated.
Approved by XYZ Board of Trustees on (insert date)
