Who May Use the Rooms?
- Organizations, whose purpose is non-commercial and non-profit, may use the meeting rooms at no charge.
- Commercial, industrial, and other for-profit groups and users from outside our library district are expected to make a donation to the library’s gift fund in return for the use of the rooms. Suggested donations are ($50) all day meeting, ($25) half day meeting, or ($7) per hour.
- Religious groups may use the rooms for non-denominational or interdenominational meetings or programs.
- Commercial, industrial, or professional organizations may use the rooms for educational purposes and for other occasional purposes which do not involve the sale of goods or services.
- Only the library or a library-sponsored group may conduct a fund-raiser or purely social event in the library. Others wishing to conduct fund-raising activities must secure permission from the Library Director.
- The rooms will not be available for purely social functions or family gatherings.
- In the use of the rooms, library functions will take precedence over all others.
- The Library Board of Trustees is the final arbiter of any question as to the use of the library. However, when a question arises concerning the propriety of allowing the meeting room to be used by a particular group or for a particular purpose, the board delegates to the Director the authority to interpret this policy.
