The Fort Vancouver Regional Library District (FVRL) is a politically neutral institution. FVRLibraries does not endorse or oppose politicians, political viewpoints, or other issues. The mission of FVRL is to provide information in a neutral manner "presenting all points of view on current and historical issues."

In accordance with the mission of FVRL to provide information in a neutral manner, staff may not wear political paraphernalia or display political slogans or endorsements while on the job.

Wearing political paraphernalia (e.g. buttons, jewelry, T-shirts) erodes the appearance of neutrality on the part of FVRL and jeopardizes the credibility of information provided by employees.

FVRL strongly supports the First Amendment rights of employees to speak out, on their own time. In so doing, it is the responsibility of FVRL staff to maintain a clear distinction in their actions and statements between their personal philosophies and opinions and those of FVRL.
