Fla. library refuses to book meeting room
for religious seminar

ADF files suit against Osceola County for enforcing
unconstitutional library policy prohibiting religious use of public meeting room

MIAMI — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Osceola County on behalf of a man who was prohibited from reserving a county library’s public meeting room because of a policy forbidding religious uses.  Anthony Verdugo sought to use the meeting room for a “Religion in America” seminar, but Hart Memorial Central Library officials turned him away because of the seminar’s religious content.

Case Name:  Verdugo v. Osceola County
