Room Information
Reserving this Room

The meeting room is served by projection and audio equipment. Training on audio-visual equipment is based on staff availability and is not guaranteed.

Users are responsible for their own setup and breakdown. Groups should check in at a service desk before setting up and notify library staff when leaving.

Simple refreshments may be served in the meeting rooms, provided the room(s) and kitchenette are left in the condition they were found. Users must bring their own utensils and supplies.

Rooms are not available for personal social events such as birthday parties, showers, holiday parties, and receptions.

For-profit groups (such as businesses and law offices) are charged a $50.00 rental fee per meeting room use. All fees from for-profit groups must be received by the library before the meeting occurs. For-profit groups that have a Business Membership with Friends of the Waterloo Public Library may use the library’s meeting rooms up to 3 times per year at no cost. Learn more here.

Organizations using the meeting rooms may not charge admission fees other than regular membership dues. Meeting rooms are not to be used for the direct sale of merchandise, goods, or services for profit, or for the promotion of any commercial or profit-making venture or business. ​
