A county or school-level committee may evaluate library media materials. Library media materials are
those published for the individual reader and selected by the library media specialist and include both
book and non-book materials, housed primarily in the library media center and used to support the
instructional program. The county-level committee reviews and evaluates library media materials. The
county Review & Evaluation Office generates lists of recommended book titles. These lists are distributed
to school library media specialists for use in the selection and ordering of materials. The school-level
committee evaluates materials for current supplemental use. This committee also reviews and evaluates
gifts, donations and book titles earned through fund-raising efforts. School-level committees will
determine if the materials meet the established criteria. Materials approved by the school-level
committee are forwarded to the county Review and Evaluation Office for clearance and processing. Library
media materials are considered to be supplementary classroom instructional materials and are not to be
regarded as textbooks.
