  • Each group can reserve a room once a month.
  • We accept online reservation requests as early as 45 days in advance of the requested date or as late as three days in advance. To request a meeting room for less than three days in advance, please contact the library.
  • Meeting rooms cannot be used to sell or advertise products or services.
  • All meetings must be open to the public.
