Community Activity room
A large community activity room is, for a fee, available to rent when not in use by the library, along with a smaller “table” room. Both can be reserved by calling the library (740-676-9421) or by stopping by at the circulation desk during regular library hours. Please be sure to review the fee schedules below for the Community Activity Room and the Table Room before booking a reservation.
Saturday reservations can be made for events between 9 am and 3:30 pm. The event is required to end by 3:30 and everyone out following clean up by 5 pm.
Payment is required at least one week in advance of the scheduled date. If payment has not been received by the Monday of a weekend event, the reservation will be canceled if the payment is not made by Tuesday.
The Community Activity Room can accommodate a large number of people, with a maximum capacity of 240-280 (chairs only – with tables, maximum capacity is 120-140). Chairs and tables can be set up by library staff for different functions. Ten 60″ round tables (5′ diameter, accommodate 6 chairs each) are available and ten 72″ long rectangle tables (6′ long, accommodate 8 chairs each) are also available for use in the Community Activity Room. A small kitchenette with passthrough to the Community Activity Room is also available for use.
