Use of the Meeting Room

In order to help meet community needs for meeting space, the Library welcomes the use of its facilities by local community, cultural, and educational groups.

The Library’s Meeting Room can be booked when the space is not being used for library purposes, such as library programs, Library Board meetings, or other events sponsored or presented by the Library and its staff.

The booking of all library spaces by the public is outlined in the our Public Use of Library Facilities Policy. This policy sets out the priority and conditions of use, as well as restrictions.
