| Providing meeting spaces for individual
and group uses is an important component of the library's services.
This use supports the mission of Ilsley Public Library in providing
the community with information resources and serving as a community
center.
Meeting spaces are available to any community group regardless
of its political, religious, or social views.
The library reserves the right to re-schedule a group after it
has made a reservation due to special circumstances.
A variety of audio-visual equipment is
available for use. If a group wishes to use any of this
equipment, the group is asked to make arrangements when reserving
the room:
a. video projector
b. television with video player
c. slide projector
d. overhead projector
e. 16 mm. projector
f. cassette player
g. wireless microphones with amplifier and ceiling mounted speakers

of storing them for future meetings.
Priority of use will be:
a. programs sponsored by the library and Friends
b. programs sponsored by the town
c. educational and cultural programming
a. non-profit groups
b. business and for-profit groups
Large groups will be given precedence over small groups (i.e.
a group of 30 persons as compared to a group of 5 or so). Small
groups are invited to use the library's conference rooms.

meeting room under the following special conditions:
a. Staff meetings and other internal gatherings
of a semi-private nature are permitted.

to all, there will be no fee for the use of the meeting room.

to sponsor a program for the public and wishes to charge an
admission or registration fee, a fee of $20.00/hour will be
charged for the use of the meeting room.

organizations shall be of an educational, cultural, or entertainment
nature.
i. The programs shall not focus on the sale
of products or services.

Library or the sale of a speaker's book or tape.
No group may reserve the meeting room for more than one use per
month. Exceptions may be made by the library director.
The meeting room is available year round, seven days a week.
Each group will be loaned a key to the outside door of the meeting
room. A representative of the group who is at least 18 years of
age, must sign a statement acknowledging receipt and responsibility
for the key.
The door from the meeting room into the stairwell may be opened
when the library is open.
The meeting room must be left in the same condition in which
it was found. Tables and chairs should be returned to their original
places.
Food may be served in the meeting room. Alcoholic beverages may
not be consumed in the building.
If the kitchen is used, it must be cleaned and all utensils,
appliances, and dishes must be washed and put away. If food of
any kind is served, all remaining food must be taken from the
building and the floor should be vacuumed to remove all crumbs.
Trash should be put in the wastebaskets.
Upon finishing, the group must lock the outside door and leave
the key either on the kitchen counter or on the window ledge.
All windows must be securely shut and locked upon leaving.
A FINE OF $10 A DAY WILL BE CHARGED UNTIL THE KEY IS RETURNED
TO THE LIBRARY.
THE GROUP USING THE MEETING ROOM IS RESPONSIBLE
