Book Challenge Policy

“Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.” 

Library Bill of Rights

 American Library Association, June 30, 2006

METRC fully endorses the principles documented in the Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom to Read Statement of the American Library Association. METRC provides resources and services to facilitate the preparation of professional educators, counselors, and administrators at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and to model an exemplary school library media center with a high-quality, diverse, well-reviewed selection of books, media, and other print and non-print materials. METRC selects a wide variety of library materials that satisfy the diverse interests of our community, and we uphold the right of the individual to secure these resources.

A person who wishes to request the reconsideration of library materials must file a formal written request for reconsideration by emailing cedmediacenter@ncsu.edu. A reconsideration form will be sent and must be returned within ten days to be considered by the Advisory Committee.
