From time to time, certain materials in the library media center’s collection might be questioned or challenged. Even though a specific process was used in selecting the item, there are patrons that find offense to some materials. In order for intellectual freedom to be considered, a process is in place to address the challenged material. The policy and procedures will address what needs to take place in the reevaluation procedure of the material and the channels that it needs to go through.
