The FPL board welcomes the use of library meeting rooms to non-profit, non-commercial groups engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual, and charitable activities.  Due to limited custodial time, rooms are not available for purely social functions.

Library events take precedence over all other scheduled events. The library reserves the right to change or cancel a meeting room reservation if necessary. Meeting rooms are reserved during operating hours and are free of charge. Limited after hours use may be possible depending on staff availability and approval of the director.

Rooms are not reserved on Sundays or dates when the library is closed. Keys to the library are not given out.

Exceptions to policy must be board approved.
