Intellectual Freedom HPL has a responsibility to support the right of intellectual freedom and expression by implementing it consistently when developing and hosting programs, events, and exhibits within library spaces. The presence of an exhibition or item within an exhibition isn’t an endorsement of its contents by HPL but rather is an affirmation of the principle of intellectual freedom.
