American Libraries;
"“As cited in the interpretation, there
are two prominent cases addressing public library meeting rooms. One
involved religion. One involved a white supremacist group. In both
cases, the library prohibiting the groups use of space lost lawsuits and
were forced to change their policies.
“The Library Bill of Rights Meeting Room
amendment should serve as a catalyst for library staff to review or
establish policies with assistance from their legal counsel. We
encourage libraries to adopt policies that govern meeting space use
while meeting the needs of the community that they serve."
