Education/Meeting Room Policy

Meeting Room Fees: The use of meeting rooms is flee of charge to non-profit civic, social, cultural, educational, and government organizations, as long as the meetings or programs they hold are open to the public, are free of charge, and are not held with the intention of generating revenue. Donations to the library's gift fund are accepted with pleasure. The fee assessed for for-profit groups, personal use or businesses is $35.00 For-profits presenting educational seminars are subject to meeting room rental fees unless the program is being presented at the direct invitation of the Library. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age. Payment must be made at the time of reservation.

Food and beverages may be served provided that all evidence of food is removed from the premises before leaving, the kitchenette is cleaned, and all trash is properly bagged and discarded. A refundable deposit of $50 is required for all groups. This deposit will be returned within 24 hours, once it has been determined that the meeting room has been left in good condition. No food or beverages may be stored at the Library.
The serving of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited.
Preparation of the room for the meeting and clean-up following the meeting are the responsibilities of the group requesting use of the room. The group will also be responsible for any damage to Library property.
The library staff is not responsible for the supervision of children while adults are attending meetings. A copy of the Library's Policy on Unattended Children may be obtained from the Library.
The Library is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Smoking is not permitted in the Education/Meeting Room or anywhere in the Library.

Each group using a meeting room shall be responsible to ensure that the meeting room is returned to the same condition after the meeting as it was prior to the meeting. Failure to restore the meeting room to such prior condition shall render the group liable to the Board of Library Trustees for the cost of repair and clean up and may result in forfeiture of future bookings.

Under no circumstances may use of the meeting rooms interfere with the use of the library by other patrons, the work of the library staff or any other aspect of normal library operation.

Permission to use the rooms does not constitute endorsement or sponsorship of any program or event by the library. The library's name may be used only in reference to location, not sponsorship. Any false, misleading or incomplete statement on the application form shall be grounds to forbid the use of meeting rooms by the applicant group.

The meeting room key along with a number of participants may be left in the book return if the library is closed. Contact the library staff to have your deposit refunded.
