Library Meeting Room Policy    << Back     Meeting Room Rules

The Blair Public library provides a meeting room for Library sponsored or co-sponsored programs which meet the Library’s service goals. When not in use for Library activities, the meeting room is available to local community organizations or individuals under the following guidelines:
   
    1. The meeting room is available on a priority basis to groups who provide services to residents of Washington County.

    2. The meeting room is available for educational and cultural meetings of interest to the general public.

    3. The meeting room is not available for the benefit of profit-making individuals or organizations.

    4. Reservation can be made only one at a time.  The Library cannot accept a standing reservation for the meeting room as this could deny the use of the room to other groups.

    5. There is no fee for the use of the meeting room except that individuals or groups responsible for the meeting shall be liable for all damages and cleanup.

    6. People wishing to use the meeting room must call in advance for a reservation, and will be allowed use of the meeting room on a first-come-first-served basis.

    7. Generally, the meeting room is available for use during the hours the Library is open. If the meeting extends past Library hours, it must start an hour before the Library closes and end within two hours after closing.

   8. Light refreshments may be served in the meeting room provided the room is left in the condition in which it was found. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited.


   9. The Library Director, the City Council, and the Library Board do not endorse the particular views or activities of any individual or group using the meeting room. Allowance of a group's use should not be considered an endorsement of the group or its activities.

  10. The library is not responsible for accidents, injury, loss, theft, or any damage of individual property that occur while using the meeting room.
