Community Room Policy:

The Community Room is available to civic, educational, or cultural groups; but not for social, money-raising or commercial purposes.  Use of the Community Room will include the restrooms and the kitchen, but not any other part of the Library.  No supplies or appliances will be furnished by the Library.  Equipment listed below is available, but must be reserved prior to the meeting date.  The Library will assume no responsibility for the safety of any items left in the community room.  The Community Room is available for use free of charge and groups are not to charge a fee for attendance.  Attendance is limited to 100. 

Reservations must be made with one (1) day allowed for confirmation.  The reservation must include the name of the group, date & time desired, number of people expected, and the name & phone number of the person responsible.  No meeting will be booked within one (1) hour of another meeting.

Groups holding meetings assume responsibility for any damage to the Community Room or its contents.  The group is responsible for cleaning the Community Room, including the kitchen area if used, emptying the trash, vacuuming the floor, and returning the chairs and tables to their proper location, according to the placement diagram.  No alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, or smoking are allowed.  A representative of the group is responsible for obtaining a key to the Community Room during regular Library hours. The representative is responsible for locking the Library door(s) and leaving the key in the book drop on the northwest corner of the building when the meeting has ended, or at the Circulation Desk if the Library is open.  Under no circumstances will the representative keep the key overnight without permission.  The group representative will notify the staff by note or telephone by the next business day if any spills have occurred so that they may be quickly cleaned with the proper solvent to avoid staining.
