I'm not sure what exactly people can understand or not understand. But they shouldn't sign anything that they can't understand.

And if you think the Jefferson City Public Library, which fits in two rooms and has, I think, three employees, and which is funded by a town with a population of five thousand, is a "sophisticated legal entity with a multi-million dollar budget" that can obviously afford to hire a lawyer, we differ on that too.

The library discussed in the article is the Chesapeake P.L. It has a main library, six branches, and a $10 million budget.
But even a tiny library has no business signing a contract that they don't understand.
