Policy on Suggestions for the Collection

The Memphis Public Library & Information Center strives to acquire, organize, make accessible, and actively promote materials and electronic resources which support the informational, educational, cultural, and recreational needs of the community.

Our collection development policy takes into consideration factors such as public demand, current or historical interest, and reading and interest levels. We are committed to providing materials and access to Web and other electronic resources for a very large and diverse public with a wide range of viewpoints.
