Meeting Room Policies
The Fayette County Public Library has meeting rooms for library programs
(the Distance Learning Center and the Public Meeting Room), and makes
these facilities available to nonprofit organizations within Fayette
County (Maximum of four (4) meetings per year).
The Distance Learning Center is available for small meetings and has
a capacity of up to 15 people. The Public Meeting Room is available for
large meetings and has a capacity of up to 150 people.
Permission to use the rooms does not constitute endorsement or sponsorship
of any program or event by the library. The library's name may be used
only in reference to location, not sponsorship. Applications for use
of the rooms must be submitted at least 10 days in advance of
the proposed meeting. The library may cancel any reservation in the event
of a conflict with a library program. Notice of such cancellation will
be given as soon as possible. Organizations must notify the library of
any cancellation on their part as soon as possible. The library cannot
be responsible for items left in the rooms.
