If you are looking to host an event where you require paid attendance (or ticketing) and/or after-hours access, we require a rental fee. Scroll down for other types of room bookings and more information!

You may reserve a meeting space up to 10 times in a 60-day period.

EVENTS

Every Library location has a large Events space to host lectures, classes, large group meetings, and more. Some locations offer the ability to combine multiple Events rooms to create an even larger space if you are hosting conferences, trainings, or another large-scale event. Events spaces are equipped with technology, seating, and podiums.

Event spaces are available at all library locations.

Studio

If you’re in need of a space to get creative, you can reserve a Studio complete with concrete floors, washable surfaces, and seating. Reserve Studios for any type of meeting, especially for artistic meetings that might require a bit more clean up.

Studio spaces available at Shadle Park, The Hive, Hillyard, & Central Libraries.

STUDY

Find a quiet study room for reading, studying, test practice, and more. Gather with your peers and coworkers to take advantage of this study space to learn and grow in your studies and interests.
