These rooms are designed to meet the general needs of educational and cultural programming. The library meeting rooms are available for other public gatherings of a civic, cultural, or educational character, but not for social gatherings, entertainments, dramatic presentations, money-raising or commercial purposes. The rooms may not be reserved for denominational groups.
Exception is made when committees or associations affiliated with more than one church are involved.
Established nonpartisan organizations which do not endorse individual candidates or parties may be allowed, with the approval of the director to conduct meetings in the library buildings at which current elections issues will be discussed by the candidates for public office, if all candidates for the same office shall have been invited and a majority of such candidates are to appear on the program. Any program in which non-candidates discuss current issues to be voted upon shall include reasonable and thoughtful presentations of differing views. It is understood that the public shall be welcome at all meetings of this nature. The fact that a group is permitted to meet at the public library does not in any way constitute an endorsement of the groups policies or beliefs. Library programs receive first consideration in scheduling meeting room events.
