Request for Reconsideration

Lake Forest Library does not endorse the opinions contained in its materials. Patrons are free to enjoy, dislike, or ignore any item in the collection. However, no one is free to restrict another's use of library materials. A request to remove library materials creates legal and ethical questions for both the Library and the community. Consequently, this issue is taken very seriously by the Library. To initiate a request, fill out the Request for Reconsideration webform completely. The Library Executive Director will appoint a committee to review the challenged material and prepare a written report. Until a decision is reached by the Executive Director, the item in question will remain available. Patrons who do not accept the Executive Director's decision may appeal to the Library Board of Trustees. The reconsideration process will be completed in a reasonable amount of time. Staff is available to assist in preparation of the required form.
