Our school board has one materials selection policy. Since
it doesnt specify just library materials, it applies to all materials.

   I seem to have *misplaced* the address in Minnesota for the MEMO
publication, but if you email Al Lundquist <0833lund@ties.k12.mn.us>
he will send you the address. The publication is *Selection Policies and Reevaul
 ation Procedures* and
it costs $8.00.
