Library Lawsuit Settled

The Clermont County Public Library in Batavia, Ohio has settled a lawsuit with a couple who wanted to hold a financial planning seminar. The library turned them down because they wanted to use the Bible.

The library will pay George Vandergriff and his wife $2 and $1 will go to the Institute for Principled Policy which was part of the suit. But $10,000 will go to their attorneys. The library has also changed its policy and will no longer allow outside groups to use its meeting rooms.
