The Freep reports:

His station —— a table with literature, a sign on an easel and chairs for himself and two volunteers — was situated in the atrium in front of the library. Paces away, on the other side of the library entrance, stood a prayer station that has been allowed in City Hall since 2009.

Marshall, 69, of Warren said he was happy he could establish the reason station 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

"I feel it's appropriate that an alternative is being offered," Marshall said.
