A poster promoting a screening of the new HBO documentary "Alive Day Memories" is being viewed by some as advertising for HBO on a public building, and by the library as and advertisement for an event- public information. A copy is being donated to the library and will be available to library patrons.
Are we so unwilling to believe it could be both information AND smart advertising?
