The item in question will be reviewed by the Executive Director, in conjunction with a Selection Review Committee appointed by the Executive Director if deemed necessary. The Executive Director shall inform the patron requesting the review of the decision by letter or email. A copy of the communication sent to the patron as well as the initial Request for Reconsideration of Library Material form completed by the requesting patron shall be given to the Board of Trustees for informational purposes. The decision of the Executive Director may be appealed to the Board of Trustees by the patron.
