Meeting Rooms
The Santa
Clara County Library, as an open forum promoting knowledge,
ideas, and cultural enrichment, makes meeting rooms available
to organizations engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual,
civic, or charitable activities.
All
meetings must be free and open to the general public. Admissions
fees are not permitted. No donations, raffles, collections,
fees, or sales of any kind may occur. Exception: organizational
dues or a nominal amount to cover the cost of refreshments
may be collected.
-
Commercial
uses of these meeting rooms are prohibited, including use by
organizations that are making sales or solicitations, or whose
primary purpose for holding a meeting is to sell or solicit
names for future sales.
-
Library
sponsored events take precedence over those sponsored by
other organizations. The library and organizations affiliated
with the library (e.g. Friends of the Library) may collect
moneys during library fundraising events including book
sales and author lectures.
-
Private uses of these facilities are excluded, including
birthday parties, play groups, and business meetings.
-
The
name of the organization and the name and phone number
of the person making the room reservation may be posted
or given to anyone who inquires.
-
A
nonrefundable fee for making a reservation is payable at
the time the room is booked. This fee cannot be transferred
to another date or applied to another organization.
-
The
person who makes the meeting room reservation is responsible
for ensuring that use of the room is in accordance with
library policies and rules. Failure to comply with library
policies and rules will result in loss of permission to
use the room. Loss or damage to library property will result
in assessed charges.
-
Smoking
and alcoholic beverages are not permitted anywhere in the
library.
-
Animals
are not allowed in the library with the exception of service
animals.
-
Each
community library determines its own reservation policy
and procedures, including frequency of booking, how far
in advance reservations may be made, days and times available,
minimum and maximum numbers of people attending, entrance
and exit procedures.
