[Publib] Bible study in the library ok?

[Reed Winterbourne]

Sorry I'm late getting into the fray on this, but here's a question.  Would 
you try to stop a group of people studying "Dianetics" and quoting that 
work?  If not, don't just tread carefully, do an about face and walk the 
other way.  Yes, ask the group to maintain an appropriate level of noise as 
documented in your library policies, but otherwise... forget it.
