Clarification about AA meetings
by Helena Hayes 09 May '17

09 May '17

Before I start getting hate mail, let me clarify my question about AA meetings, and apologize for its ambiguity... I am NOT concerned about them (recovering alcoholics) using our room. My question stemmed from privacy concerns for them - if we post that we host AA meetings "at this time, on this day," and your vehicle is parked in the our lot, anyone driving by knows why you're here (the requested meeting time is after our normal hours). My only other concern was the "public-ness" of the meetings. Any meeting held in the library needs to be open to the public... do AA meetings qualify? Thank you to the couple folks who have already replied. Helena Hayes, MLIS, Director Galesburg-Charleston Memorial District Library 188 E. Michigan Ave. Galesburg, MI 49053 Phone: 269-665-7839 Fax: 269-665-7788 www.galesburgcharlestonlibrary.org
