  • A room may be reserved in person, no more than 15 minutes in advance, on a first come first served basis.

Reservations

ROOM RESERVATIONS WILL BE HELD FOR 15 MINUTES; AFTER 15 MINUTES, IF THE ROOM IS NOT USED, THE RESERVATION WILL BE RELEASED, OPENING THE ROOM FOR ANYONE TO USE FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.  

No Endorsement of Content

The fact that an individual or an organization is permitted to meet at the Library does not in any way constitute an endorsement by the Library of the content of the program of that meeting or study session, or of that individual’s or organization’s policies or beliefs.
