Room Reservations

Rooms are provided at library locations for various activities.  We use them for library programs but they are also available for the public.

There are STUDY ROOMS at both locations as well as MEETING ROOMS.  Some rooms may be reserved for library use only.  In order to reserve a room, you can do it yourself online, or call one of the library locations and a staff person will go through the process with you.  All rooms except study rooms must be booked at least 2-3 days in advance.
