Sunderland Public Library
Community Bulletin Board Policy

In its role as a community center, the Sunderland Public Library provides bulletin board space for the posting of information regarding library news and events, local government issues and notices, local cultural, recreational, and educational events, and event posting for non-profit organizations, in that order of priority. As space allows, postings for individual enterprises (e.g. lawn mowing, etc.) will be allowed. Literature of a commercial or purely partisan nature will not be posted. This does not include election information as provided by state and town government.

The following regulations apply:

  • Items must be delivered to the Circulation Desk for approval by the Library Director. They will be dated and posted by a staff member, as space permits.
  • Posted notices become Library property and will be disposed of within one month, or when the information is no longer current.
  • The size limit for notices is 8½ x 11. Larger notices of overriding community importance may be posted with the permission of the Library Director, and as space permits.
  • Petitions will not be posted.
  • Items posted in violation of this policy will be removed and discarded.
