Today I received the following email from the legal staff at the Freedom From Religion Foundation. I responded with the contact information for the library board of trustees. I'll post a copy of the letter here once I get it.

Hi Gallup,

Thanks so much for your email about these religious symbols at the library.  We're happy to send a letter of complaint to the library.  We just need to have the name and location of the library.  Once you send that, we can send out a letter.  I'll forward a copy to you.  

Thanks!

The FFR sent a lengthy letter to the city library today on my behalf. I'll post an update if there is a response or any other results. It's probably too much to hope that the displays will come down. If they don't I'll probably ask to put up a display of my own.
