The Board of Trustees of the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library invites any group of community residents to use the meeting room as long as the purpose for meeting is compatible with the social, cultural and intellectual purposes of the Library. As a community agency, the Board of Trustees believes that when conditions permit, an area should be available for public use, subject to Board policy.
1. Application for use: Reservations for use must be made at least two weeks in advance of the meeting to guarantee availability. Application forms are available at the Library. All applications are taken on a first-come basis and must be approved by the Library Board or delegated representative. The Meeting Room Agreement Form must be signed before the meeting begins.
2. Hours of use: The room may be used during the Library’s open hours. Special arrangements for meetings outside of regular hours must be made with the Library Board or designated representative. All participants must be out no later than 10:00 (ten) p.m. local time.
3. Cancellations: Notice of cancellation must be given at least 48 (forty-eight) hours in advance. The Library retains the right to cancel a reservation but only in order to use the room for Library purposes or as a disciplinary action.
4. Conditions of Use:
a. Library programs and uses have first priority.
b. Civic, community, educational organizations and groups, whose purpose is non-commercial, non-profit may use the meeting room at no charge with the approval of the Library Board or delegated representative and by abiding by the policy of the Board of Trustees.
