Cancellations/Denial of Meeting Room Privileges
Cancellation notification is required 10 days prior to each meeting. If notice is not given by that time, 50% of the payment due will still be charged.
The Director reserves the right to cancel any application. An appeal of this decision can be made to the Library’s Board of Trustees at a regularly scheduled meeting. The signer of the meeting room application must inform the library’s Administrative Office if a meeting is cancelled. In order to receive a refund, notice of cancellation must be received at least ten days prior to the scheduled event.

The library reserves the right to deny meeting rooms to organizations that repeatedly cancel meetings or repeatedly fail to notify the library of cancellations. No group will be permitted use of a meeting room if that use poses a potential disturbance to the normal operation of the library (e.g. excessive noise, a safety hazard or a significant security risk). The Director may also deny the use of meeting rooms to groups that violate meeting room policies.
