MEETING ROOM INFO

The Library provides two rooms for use by the public: a large Meeting Room (capacity 78 people) on the first floor and a smaller Conference Room (capacity 15 seated) on the second floor.  These rooms are available without charge (except for a $5 administrative fee) to nonprofit groups engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual, civic or charitable activities under guidelines available from the library.  Call Business Manager Suzie Halftown at (217) 477-5223 ext. 117 to reserve a room or review the guidelines.

For-profit organizations wishing to use the meeting rooms must pay a fee of $50 per hour or any part of an hour. This fee shall be paid in advance.  If any group's meeting extends beyond the Library's scheduled hours, a custodial fee of $15 per hour or any part of an hour will be assessed.

The first floor Meeting Room is outfitted with multimedia equipment which may be rented for an additional fee.  There is also basic audiovisual equipment available (TV, VCR, slide projector, overhead projector) which is free.
