As I understand it, and as been reinforced by our attorney, yes, anyone may record and/or broadcast audio and/or video of a public meeting with or without permission or notice.

Dear Librarians,

I need clarification about Library board meetings. I know they are open to the public and subject to the Open meetings Act, but can anyone record the board proceedings during a meeting?

Also does any library use inside cameras in their children's room?
