Nelson Room After-Hours Use
As of October 2018, the Library allows after-hours use of the Nelson Room, seven days a week.
Guests must generally leave the building by 11 pm, though exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Director. Please note that in accordance with the Town attorney's requirements, the Library reserves the right to cancel reservations during the winter months if the Director has reasonable cause to believe that weather conditions may impede public safety.
Please see the Library's Meeting Room Policy for additional guidelines.
Please note that submission of a request DOES NOT guarantee room booking.
A library staff member will contact you regarding your meeting room request. We try to approve or deny requests with one business day.
