Meeting Rooms

Mary Flood Room---capacity 90 people
Wagner Room---capacity 25 people
Van Beynum Room---capacity 15 people
Conference Room---capacity 8  people
Buck Room---capacity 6 people

The size of the group determines which room will be booked. A larger room will not be booked if a smaller room is available which will comfortably accommodate the group.

Meeting rooms are generally available during the hours that the library is open.

Except for town commissions and library-sponsored programs, groups will be limited to regular bookings of no more than once a month.

Only non-commercial, tax-exempt, cultural, civic, professional, educational or governmental groups may use the rooms. The rooms may be booked by individuals for quiet study.

In order to book a meeting room, contact the Administrative Assistant by email or by calling the Library at 342-6770.
