Lawsuit filed against Ohio Libraries Over Meetings

The Clermont County Public Library Board of Trustees is facing a lawsuit in Federal Court for not allowing a financial planning meeting in the Amelia branch for religious reasons. The library is being sued by George and Kathy Vandergriff of Amelia and the Institute for Principled Policy which sponsored the seminar.

“We had done them quite often at church,” George Vandergriff said. “We felt there were people who were reluctant to come to a church setting for instruction of Biblically based financial planning.”
