Reserving this Room

The Conference Room is served by up to 10 laptops and 6 desktop computers. Assistance with this equipment is based on staff availability and is not guaranteed.

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

No food is allowed, but lidded non-alcoholic beverages are permitted. 

The Conference Room is 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.
