arrangements for payment of the fee.
Use of library
space by a community group does not constitute
an endorsement of the group’s mission or program
by the library or the City of Bridgeton. Groups
using the library may not advocate any illegal
activity, nor shall they engage in any activity
contrary to the policies of the library.
All meetings held
in the library shall be open to the public.

must be left neat and clean. Tables and chairs
should be returned to the positions in which
they were found.
Groups are asked
to report the number of persons attending the

records.

activities. The library reserves the right to
stop any meeting in progress if this policy is
violated.
