Meeting Room Rules & Fees @ North Judson-Wayne Township Library

The Board of Trustees of the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library invites any group of community residents whose purpose for meeting is in harmony with the social, cultural and intellectual purposes of the Library to use the meeting room.  The Board of Trustees believes that as a community agency, when conditions permit, an area should be available for public use, subject to Board policy.

1.  Hours of use:  The room may be used during the Library's open hours. After hours, special arrangements for opening or closing must be made with the Library Board or delegated representative.  All participants must be out by 10:00 (ten) p.m.

2.  Application for use:  Reservations for use must be made in writing at least two weeks in advance of the meeting.  Application forms are available at the Library.  All applications are taken on a first come basis and must be approved by the Library Board or delegated representative. 

3.  Cancellations:  Notice of cancellation must be given at least 48 (forty-eight) hours in advance.  If the cancellation is not made in a timely manner, a fee of $25.00 (twenty-five dollars) will be assessed.  The Library retains the right to cancel a reservation  but only in order to use the room for Library purposes or as a disciplinary action.

4.  Conditions of Use:
a.  Library programs and uses have first priority.
