The Holliday ISD Libraries mission is to foster kindness, responsibility, integrity, and growth by empowering all students to read, think, explore their passions, develop curiosity, and achieve academic success in a space that goes far beyond books.
Holliday ISD Library Policey:
The objective of this policy is to guide the selection, development, and ongoing evaluation of library resources. It ensures the District maintains an inclusive collection that caters to diverse skill levels and viewpoints, directly enhancing academic success for students and staff alike.

In accordance with TEC §33.027, an individual completing the form must identify how the challenged library material violates library standards adopted by the Texas State Library and Archive Commission (TSLAC).
Upon receipt of a Library Materials Challenge Form:
-
The school district’s board of trustees must take action on the written challenge at the first open meeting held after the 90th day after receipt of a written challenge.
