Intellectual Freedom

The Peterborough Public Library endorses the Canadian Federation of Library Association's statement on intellectual freedom:

“...that all persons in Canada have a fundamental right, subject only to the Constitution and the law, to have access to the full range of knowledge, imagination, ideas, and opinion, and to express their thoughts publicly.”

The Library is governed by the Canadian Copyright Act, the Criminal Code of Canada and other legislation governing access to expressions of knowledge and intellectual activity.
