Correction on Marshall Library story

MARSHALL – In the Dec. 5 Pathway, a story concerning sexually explicit materials at Marshall’s Public Library, it was reported that the library hosted a Pagan Pride Festival in 2005. The library only allowed a flyer advertising the festival to be placed on its bulletin board. The library was not connected to the festival. The Pathway is glad to set the record straight.
