Meeting Room Policy & Reservations
1. The room may be reserved for non-profit education, civic, and cultural purposes, but not for sectarian religious or partisan political meetings, or for merely business meetings, except where certain organization business is incidental to an educational, civic or cultural meeting. Please note that the use of the meeting room for library purposes will have priority over all other uses.
2. Application for the use of the room should be made, in writing, on a form supplied by the library. The application must be approved by the library director and/or the Board of Trustees.
3. The library will not charge a fee to local groups, agencies, or organizations. Meetings must take place during regular library hours and must end 30 minutes before closing time, so that staff may begin closing procedures.

If the librarian-in-charge determines there are too few adults, the group will be asked to cancel the meeting.
