Rooms may not be booked more than one month in advance without the permission of the Chief Librarian or their designate.
The Library charges in half-hour increments. Meeting rooms must be vacated 15 minutes before closing unless arranged in advance, extra charges for staffing may apply. Set-up times will be included in your paid booking.
