As a service to our patrons, the State Library of Ohio provides space for the distribution of free materials/community information. These materials are limited to those of an educational, cultural, civic, and recreational nature.

All material to be distributed must be approved. These materials may be left with the receptionist. Approval for materials will be decided by the Head of Research Services or the Head of Patron & Catalog Services.

Display of materials at the library DOES NOT imply endorsement by the State Library of Ohio. In keeping with the American Library Association Library Bill of Rights, materials will not be excluded because of origin, background or views of those contributing to their creation; materials will not be removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.

Requests for reconsideration of any materials will be directed to the State Librarian. If a resolution is not reached, the request for reconsideration will be directed to the Board of Trustees.
