| Library Meeting Room Policy and Procedures | |
|
The Monterey Public Library's meeting rooms may be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis for meetings of community groups and events of an informational, educational or cultural nature sponsored by non-profit organizations. Organizations, meetings, and programs must be non-commercial and non-religious in nature. The Library requires proof of an organization's non-profit status. Documents such as articles of incorporation, bylaws, or 501(c)(3) verification must accompany the application form. If the individual who takes responsibility for the room has a valid Monterey Public Library card, there is no charge. If the meeting room is reserved by someone who does not have a card, fees are $10 per hour for the Community Room (up to $50/day) and $5 per hour for the Solarium Conference Room (up to $25/day). All meetings and events must be open to the public. With prior approval of the Library Director, your organization may charge a nominal fee to recover the costs of meeting room rental, refreshments, and supplies. Any publicity for meetings and events should clearly state your organization's sponsorship, provide a name and phone number for contacting your organization, and include the following sentence: This program is not sponsored or endorsed by Monterey Public Library or the City of Monterey. Organizations using the meeting rooms are responsible for enforcing fire safety occupancy limits. At the close of your meeting you must leave the room, including the furniture arrangement, as you found it, and return the Meeting Room Closing form to the Reference Desk. Recurring reservations will be accepted through the current calendar year subject to availability. Reservations for the upcoming year will be taken beginning on the first weekday in November. Organizations are permitted to book each room for two dates in each month at this time. If an organization wishes to book additional dates, it may request additional dates up to 30 days prior to the additional date desired. Applications must be resubmitted yearly. |
