[Michlib-l] Political Activities in Public Libraries

[Katie Ester]

Hi Clare,

I'm wondering if you can point me to any law or legal opinion on the use 
of public libraries for non-partisan political activity. Our Township 
would like to come up with a Township-wide policy that would address 
this. Specifically, the use of public/municipal buildings for 
non-campaigning activities like public forums, meet-and-greets, coffee 
hours with your local rep, etc. (My guess is that our Twp is looking to 
ban the use of our buildings for such use.)

My thanks,
Katie
