Use of Meeting Room in Livonia Public Library

The Livonia Public Library facility currently has TWO small study rooms (up to 4 people each) and ONE large meeting room. The use of the large meeting room is primarily for programs conducted or sponsored by the Library and Friends Group, and secondarily, for programs conducted or sponsored by Community groups and non-for-profit organizations whose aims are educational, cultural, and/or for civic betterment. Room holds 60 for row seating and 30 with tables.

Organizations or patrons wishing to use one of the rooms must submit a request on the library’s website (www.livonialibrary.org). Approval for use must be given before any advertising for event may occur. All meetings are free and open to the public.

General Rules of Use

Meeting rooms are not available for the benefit of private individuals or commercial concerns. Sale of merchandise (as in author events) is left to the discretion of the Library Director.

No admission fee may be charged at any time. Dues or registrations may not be collected at meetings held in the library.

Meeting rooms are available for use only during the Library's normal hours of operation. Any requests for usage outside of normal hours of operation require Library Director approval.

Programs should be planned so that meeting space will be vacated 10 minutes prior to closing time.
