Appendix B: Worcester Public Library Request for Reconsideration of Library Material

Forms must be completely filled out; anonymous complaints will not be considered. Requests will only be accepted from Worcester residents with active library cards. The same work will not be reconsidered within a four year period; the requester will be notified if this applies. Library Administration will review and respond to the borrower initiating the request. The item will be reviewed within the context of the collection policy, literary reviews, ALA and other governing bodies’ guidelines, and reasonable person standards. If the borrower disagrees with the decision, they may choose to appeal the decision to the Executive Director. This completed form will appear in the Worcester Public Library’s Board of Directors report which is a public document. Use back of form as needed.
