Rooms are not available for:
- Social gatherings

- Commercial ventures only if the entire community is invited and no products are sold. The library cannot be the location for the sale of any merchandise other than books at author book signings.
It is not the intent or purpose of any program or activity offered at the library to persuade or convince participants to accept a certain point or set of beliefs. The library is an information resource center where books and material resources, as well as program and people resources, are designed to enrich the
understanding of topics and ideas on many subjects.
We welcome all groups but cannot provide library space on a regular weekly or monthly basis to support the primary activities of a group. We are happy to provide the first organizational meeting of a new group but cannot be your designated meeting location.
