Display and Distribution of Materials Policy

Bulletin boards and pamphlet displays help PEI public libraries act as community spaces.

The first objective for use of these resources is to advertise library programs and services. When space permits, the second objective is to provide the public with information concerning the community, especially that pertaining to educational, cultural, recreational, and charitable events. Community groups and individuals requesting space are required to submit their material to the library for posting or distribution.

Material Acceptable for Posting or Distribution

Materials submitted must fall within these guidelines:

• not-for-profit educational courses and programs
• information of a cultural nature such as concerts, theatre, art gallery shows, etc.
• events run by, or to raise funds for, non-profit organizations
• free community information (health, civic, social, religious)
• programs sponsored by local community organizations

Material Not Acceptable for Posting or Distribution

The following materials will not be accepted: 

• political campaign flyers/posters
• material that violates the Criminal Code of Canada, the PEI Human Rights Act, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, or any other statute
• materials so large in size (such as posters) as to exclude posting of other items
• petitions
• commercial advertising
