: LibraryLaw BlogJury instruction: Free speech versus library as place dedicated to quiet, knowledge, beauty
By Mary Minow, Esq.
A library is a place dedicated to quiet, to knowledge, and to beauty. It is a legitimate
government interest to preserve a library as a sanctuary for reading, writing and quiet
contemplation. To preserve that legitimate interest, the right to free speech in a library is
subject to restriction. The right to receive information in a library is not unfettered and may
give way to significant countervailing interests.
