The
Community Room of the Webster Public Library has a capacity of
100 persons. The room is divisible into two smaller meeting rooms with a
capacity of 50 persons each.
No fee is charged for the use of the room.
The
primary purpose of the Community Room is the enhancement of library-sponsored
activities. The secondary purpose is to provide a meeting place where non-profit organizations and
groups may gather on an infrequent or one-time basis to conduct educational,
cultural, civic, or charitable activities that benefit the community.
Acceptance of an organization or group in one year does not obligate the
library in the future. Frequency of meetings by non-library organizations may be
limited at the discretion of the Director.
First
priority is given to library programs, including those of the Friends of the
Webster Public Library. Second
priority is given to non-profit Webster organizations in order of request.
Third priority is given to any other non-profit organizations in order of
request.
Groups
or organizations may not request use of the Community Room on a monthly or
regular basis.
Groups/organizations from outside the Webster community may request the room as indicated under “Application Process.”
Webster
organizations/groups wishing to conduct fund raising activities must request
special permission from the Board of Trustees.
It is understood that all funds raised will be used to benefit the
Webster community.
The
library reserves the right to cancel an organization’s reservation when
necessary. Notification will be sent
to the organization at least two
weeks in advance.
The
Community Room will be unavailable when the library is closed.
Closings due to inclement weather or other emergencies are broadcast on
radio station WHAM. Notification of
other cancellations will be given to the responsible member of the organization
as far in advance as possible.
