The Library collection includes, or provides access to, resources in varying formats, including print, non-print, and digital. The variety of formats serve the educational, recreational, and informational needs expressed by patrons and reflect the diversity of the community.

Union County Library serves patrons of all ages and cultural backgrounds and realizes patrons have diverse needs, interests, value systems, and reading abilities. Not all materials will be suitable for, nor of interest to, all segments of the community and the Library does not place value on one patron’s needs or preferences over another’s. What may be offensive to some may be significant and of value to others.

The Collection Development Policy, approved by the Library Board of Trustees, outlines the Union County Library’s policy regarding the selection, acquisition, and retention of all Library resources.
