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.
