But, hey, if anybody wants to weigh-in or has a policy regarding this, please feel free to jump-in. --- Katie Ester Director Shelby Township Library 51680 Van Dyke Shelby Township, MI 48316 (586) 726-2344 On 01/29/2020 9:52, Katie Ester via Michlib-l wrote:
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
