Last year the Supreme Court ruled that some Ten Commandments displays 
on government property are not constitutional, while other Ten 
Commandments displays are permissible. What does this mean for your 
library? Is it OK to put up a Christmas tree? A Menorah? Can you 
allow religious use of your meeting rooms and display areas? Should 
you allow staff to talk about church or religion to coworkers? 
Religious issues are heating up - in this webcast you'll find out 
where the legal lines are drawn.
