MEETING & STUDY ROOMS
Meeting Rooms
The Brecon Room is a meeting room with a capacity of 60 people that can be divided into two rooms with a capacity of 30 on each side.
It is the intention of the Library to open its meeting rooms for certain limited educational, cultural, civic and intellectual functions conducted by community groups, governmental groups, and service organizations. Profit-making organizations may use the rooms for business meetings or staff training sessions only. All meetings held in the Library meeting rooms must be open to the public free of charge, and the sale of merchandise is not allowed.
The meeting rooms must be reserved by a person who is 18 years or older and has a valid SDL library card. Youth groups (those groups with attendees under the age of 18) must have adult supervision. Meeting rooms are not available for private social occasions. All attendees must abide by Policy 511: Use of the Meeting Rooms and Policy 502: Code of Behavior.
