<p>I've been thinking a lot about library neutrality and what it means, and it occurred to me that I've never seen a really good definition of library neutrality. I can't find it "written down anywhere official" as a core tenet of our profession. I've looked
all over ALA and OLA. I've looked at library professionals' presentations, statements, and blog posts. I checked Google Scholar and looked at articles I had access to. I haven't checked out books yet but that's because we don't have any in our library system.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Does library neutrality mean political neutrality? Ethical neutrality? Social neutrality? Is it a description of how we ensure intellectual freedom? Does it mean we don't let our own viewpoints cloud service to patrons? Some of these? All? None?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So, anyone have a good definition of library neutrality? Anyone know where this core tenet of our profession originates?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you, as always, for listening. Happy Thursday, all!</p>
