Collection Development
This policy statement has been developed to promote public understanding of the purpose and nature of the Warrenton Community Library collection development practices and to give guidance and direction to library staff.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
WCL defines diversity broadly to include age, gender, culture, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic background and ability. Equity refers to fairness and social justice, such as treating people fairly while recognizing different people's needs may differ significantly. Inclusion means the act of including, and making people feel they are welcome and belong as valued members of the library and local community.
