General Guidelines:
-
- Reservations for Meeting Rooms will be scheduled in order of request. Library programs and meetings will have priority and, on occasion, may supersede a reservation. At least 2 weeks’ notice will be given if a reservation must be cancelled due to library use.
- No RML Meeting Room may be reserved for the purposes of an individual’s personal party (examples of types of parties not permitted include but are not limited to birthday, graduation, anniversary, etc).
- RML reserves the right to discontinue use of its facilities by any group or individual that interferes with regular library operations.
- Reservations must be made in advance using the appropriate application. Fees may be paid in advance or at the time of sign in by cash, check, or credit card. Applicants will be contacted by RML to confirm usage and room assignment.
- Groups using Meeting or Small Group rooms for the first time must complete an application and information sheet. Information sheets for groups must be updated whenever the information regarding the group changes.
- Individuals using the Small Group Rooms must sign in and accept the Use Agreement at the Reference Desk prior to each use.
- Multiple meetings over a period not to exceed three months/two meetings per month may be requested for the Winsor and Conference Rooms. Please see the Small Group Meeting Room section below for detailed information regarding ongoing reservations for these spaces.
- Prior use of space does not entitle an applicant to future use.
- Requests for use of technology or AV equipment must be made at the time of reservation. Fees may be paid in advance or at the time of sign in by cash, check, or credit card.
- The Conference and Winsor Rooms are available to pre-teen and teenage groups only if the meeting is supervised by an adult sponsor.
- Notice of cancellation must be received by RML at least 24 hours in advance of reserved time. Repeated failure to do so may jeopardize future reservations.
- Should RML have an emergency closure, every effort will be made to notify individuals or groups who have reserved the space. In the case of inclement weather, individuals and groups are encouraged to check radnorlibrary.org for closing information.
- All groups with reservations must sign in at the Reference Desk for access to reserved space.
- The individual who applies and/or signs in on behalf of a group to use a Meeting Room is responsible for maintaining order and for any damage to the room, its contents, and the adjoining areas of the Library. Any damage must be reported to the RML Executive Director or Reference Librarian immediately and an incident report form must be completed.
- Alcohol is not permitted without prior written consent of the Executive Director.
- Lighted candles or flames, because of fire hazard, are not to be used within the meeting rooms.
