WAC 132I-168A-010   Purpose of the library.   ((Highline Community College library, in its role of cooperating against the abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas, provides public information and enlightenment through its responsibility to maintain books and other materials of value for their wide range of information, interest, viewpoints and enlightenment on the problems and issues of our times. Just as its doors remain open to all individuals, regardless of age, sex, race, religion, national origin or socio-political views, so its shelves remain open to all books regardless of the author's age, sex, race, religion, national origin or socio-political viewpoint. Further, Highline Community College's library perceives itself as challenger to all attempts at censorship and/or proscription of views of either patron or authors because it is an educational institution for democratic living.))

Further, Highline Community College library, as part of an educational institution in a democratic society, perceives itself as challenger to all attempts at censorship and/or proscription of views of either patron or creator.

     (2) All faculty and staff of Highline Community College

     (3) The community at large which includes former students and graduated alumni

     (4) Other libraries

     Patrons wishing to retain anonymity against future searches of library records may make special arrangements to check out materials on a disposable book card. Books, packages, briefcases and similar receptacles are subject to inspection upon leaving the library. Library privileges may be refused to patrons who repeatedly cause disturbances and have been forewarned of the possibility of such action)) as an active and integral part of the community, the library's materials and services are a public resource available to the surrounding community. Within this principle, the library's primary clientele are students, faculty, and staff of Highline Community College. The library also welcomes students from other Washington community and technical colleges and the community at large. The resources of the library are also available for sharing with other libraries within the state and globally.
