Such request must be submitted to the Library Director in writing. If the patron is not content with the Library Director's response or action regarding the item in question, a formal request for reconsideration may be made to the Library Board.

Once this form is completed and returned to the Library Director, the reconsideration will be placed on the agenda for the next Library Board meeting, or as soo as possible per the Library Board By-laws.
