Meeting Room Reservations
The library has two small meeting rooms available for reservations: the Friends room and the Anderson Serenity room. Small meeting room use is scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis with the understanding that tele-health visits and counseling will have priority in room use.
Small meeting room reservation and use guidelines:

- Reservations may be made for up to one week in advance.
- A person must be at least 16 years of age to reserve a small meeting room.
- Small meeting rooms must be vacated 15 minutes prior to library closing time.
Room use:
- Please leave the small meeting rooms tidy by placing waste items in the trash.
- Please take all personal belongings upon leaving the study rooms.
- Audiovisual equipment in the Friends Comfort Corner shall be used for tele-health appointments only.
Small meeting rooms may not be used for:
