Request to Withdraw Library Materials

Request for Review of Library Materials Procedure

Despite the care taken to select materials for the South Berwick Public Library collection it is recognized that occasional objections may be raised by community members.

  • In the event a complaint is made, the following procedures will apply:
  • The complaint shall be heard first by the person staffing the public desk.
  • The person on duty may refer the complainant to the library director if the patron  would like to further discuss their objections to the material.
  • If the complainant is not satisfied with the conversation they will be requested to fill out the “Request for Review of Library Materials” form.
  • Upon receipt of the form the library director will forward the written complaint to the Library Advisory Board who shall consider the patron’s request and make recommendations to the library director.
  • The Library Advisory Board will respond with a formal, written reply to the patron who initiated the review.
