Meeting Rooms
Our Meeting Rooms are out of service until next year due to construction happening at the library. Please check back with us in 2025.
The Library has meeting rooms available for public use. If you are interested in using any of our spaces,
you may call the Library location of your choice. Click here for the online form to apply for meeting room use.
Submission of an application for use does not mean your event has been scheduled.
You are responsible for communicating with library staff to confirm any approval of scheduled events.
Submission of an application in person or online also means that you have read and agree to abide by the Library's Meeting Room Use Policy. See details and the policy below.
