General Policy
The Georgetown Public Library Board of Commissioners (Board) is the owner of the library building located at 123 West Pine Street and has the sole jurisdiction for use of its facilities. The library welcomes the use of our meeting rooms for public programs and private meetings sponsored by non-profit civic, educational and cultural groups. Library meeting rooms may not be reserved for private social events, the conduct of religious ceremonies, religious rituals or religious worship services, political activities, commercial activities or any illegal activity.
The Board will evaluate all applications and reserves the right to reject any application for meeting room use that is not consistent with this policy. The Board also reserves the right to reject any application by a group or organization whose previous use has resulted in damage or interfered with the use of the library by other patrons.
By order of the Fire Marshall, the large meeting room capacity is limited to 200 people.
The address and telephone number of the library may not be used as the official address of any organization using a meeting room, with the exception of the Friends of the Georgetown Library and other library-sponsored groups.
Guidlines
Organizations that do not fulfill their obligations as enumerated in this policy may be denied use of meeting facilities in the future. A list of these organizations will be kept in the Library’s Public Information Office. If the organization wishes to appeal the denial, it may submit a letter of appeal to the Georgetown Public Library’s Board of Commissioners.
