not seeing the rationale </font>for specifically calling out
marijuana. Noncommercial exchanges of legal goods happen all the
time in our buildings. As long as there's no illegal activity
happening and it's not adversely affecting library operations. It
seems like you'd just be making more work for yourself having to
police it.<br>
<br>
Also, you might want to look into whether it's permissible to
forbid people from posting legal marijuana-related content on your
public bulletin boards. At least when I looked it up,
publicly-accessible library bulletin boards fall under the same
"limited public forum" case law as public meeting rooms.<span class=""><br>
