We have revamped the Room Reservations page on the website to include newly reservable spaces and services to make it easier to plan and enjoy your visit to the library! Below are the descriptions of the spaces that are now available. Room capacity varies according to location. Please note that room capacity has been reduced to allow for proper social distancing. Cleaning of the rooms will occur in between bookings. Face coverings while in the library are strongly recommended. The link for Reserve Your Visit can be found under At the Library, but you can click here to check it out.
