Please use the LibCal Reservation System to request a room. See details below for who can reserve a room and other policies governing the use of the space.
About the Meeting Rooms and Study Rooms
The library's meeting and study rooms are available at no charge during library open hours, except as noted in the Library Meeting Room Policy. Meeting rooms are available for non-profit community groups, including civic, charitable, educational, religious, and other public service groups, when not in use for library purposes. Rooms can be booked up to three months in advance and will only be booked for adults. Youth groups may use the rooms if a responsible adult is always present.
Use of the study and meeting rooms and the contents therein are at your own risk. This includes all programs and events offered by any entity.
While the use of public meeting spaces is free, in the event of misuse of the space resulting in damage, additional cleaning, or disruption of use, fees may be charged to the responsible party. Fees will begin at $50.00 and could increase based on the extent of cleaning required or damage caused to the space or library property.

Display Cases
Directly across from our meeting rooms are two large display cases. These cases are for both library and public use. Please read the following guidelines and parameters for creating displays:
- One display per year per group or individual
- Groups or individuals should have a theme that is civic, artistic, charitable, educational, or has a public service component.
- Applications with the intent to promote any product or ideology that is political or religious in nature, may result in monetary gain, or promote any illegal activities or substances will be denied.
- The Library assumes no responsibility for the preservation or protection of items in the cases, although the cases are locked.
- The display of material by any group does not imply endorsement of that group by the Library.
- Applications are accepted at most twelve months prior to when the group would like them displayed.
- Displays are approved for one month. Display setup should be coordinated with library staff to occur during the first week of the display month. Likewise, displays should be taken down prior to the 1st of the following month.
- Display dimensions are 73.75" H x 88.0" W x 19.0" D
