Community Bulletin Board Policy and Procedures
Brochures and flyers about Library events and programs, as well as community events and programs, are displayed on community bulletin boards. These displays are intended for programs that are free to the public or sponsored by nonprofit organizations. Literature on the bulletin boards does not imply endorsement by Pikes Peak Library District.
Bulletin Board Guidelines per PPLD’s Solicitation Procedures:
PPLD provides bulletin boards and limited spaces to display information about Library events and programs, as well as community events and programs. Below are the guidelines for the promotion and display of materials, but all questions or inquiries about displays should be directed to PPLD’s Communications Office to the attention of the Community Engagement Manager.
- Eligible Materials: Information about programs and events that are free and open to the public and/or programs sponsored by nonprofit organizations.
- Ineligible Materials: Events or activities hosted by for-profit businesses, including those that are intended to market, advertise, or sell a product or service, even if admission is free. The Library does not provide display or distribution space for third-party materials advocating positions on contested political, religious, medical, therapeutic, or social issues, including materials directed toward minors. This restriction applies regardless of viewpoint.
- Priorities for Display: When determining what to post in each Library branch, PPLD-sponsored activities receive priority. Local community activities and events of general interest that adhere to policy guidelines are considered next, based on space availability, size of the display, and applicability to the local community.
- Duration of Display: Duration of a display may be limited in time as determined by the Library Manager or Supervisor and may be removed at their discretion based on several factors, such as available space, relevance to the immediate community, and timing of promoted event. Reasonable attempts will be made to post items for at least 14 days.
- Additional Guidelines: Community programs and events posted in these spaces are not sponsored, endorsed, or promoted by PPLD. PPLD does not provide marketing or publicity for community-sponsored activities. All materials are subject to review by PPLD staff and may be removed at the Library’s discretion.
- Disclaimer Required: Each community literature display and/or bulletin board will contain a disclaimer stating: "Literature on display here does not imply endorsement by Pikes Peak Library District.”
- Branch Responsibility: PPLD’s Communications Office distributes community literature to all Library facilities. Each Library branch is responsible for its own displays.
Want to post something on our community bulletin boards?
If you would like to request that PPLD display a flyer (excludes: tabletop stacks of flyers, booklets, pamphlets, or any other printed literature), please drop it off at the library you would like it displayed for approval by the manager or supervisor. To post a bulletin board flyer at multiple PPLD locations, bring them to your nearest Library enclosed in an envelope addressed to the Community Engagement Coordinator at Library 21c for approval and distribution.
To submit a flyer for consideration to all PPLD locations, please provide 16 copies. If you want them posted at specific libraries, please provide a copy for each and a list of which libraries you would like the flyers to be displayed. Please provide flyers at least 20 days before your scheduled event date. For faster service, flyers may be dropped off at Library 21c, attention: Communications.
