The Meeting Room may be reserved for use by educational, civic, cultural, and governmental groups when no admission charge is made.

Reservations:

Preference for use of the Meeting Room is given to groups sponsored by the library. Profit-making organizations sponsoring an educational program of a non-profit nature will be permitted to use the Meeting Room provided the meetings are open freely to the general public.

Reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Requests for reservations should be made in-person at the library, or by calling (607) 652-5001.

The final decision for approval of the use of the Meeting Room rests with the Library Director. The Director may, when deemed necessary, consult with the Board of Trustees for a decision regarding the use of the Meeting Room.

The Meeting Room may also be used by patrons at any time if it has not been previously reserved.
