Part 3/5:
Potential Strategies for Maintaining Control
While acknowledging the legal constraints, the speaker proposed several strategies that libraries could employ to retain some control over their meeting spaces:
Restricting Meeting Room Access: Limiting room bookings to individuals with a valid library card from the community, effectively excluding outsiders who might organize controversial events.
Prioritizing Library-Sponsored Events: Scheduling and promoting programs that align with the library’s mission, thereby overshadowing external or unpopular events.
