The Marion County Public Library System maintains meeting space
in as many library facilities as possible. Priority in the use of
library meeting rooms will be given to library sponsored events and
programs.
Library meeting rooms are available, free of charge, for lawful use by
educational, cultural, civic, charitable, political, religious, or professional
organizations for non-commercial purposes.
Activities in the library's meeting rooms must be open to the general public,
with the exception of certain City, County, State, or Federal Government
meetings. No admission fee, fund solicitation, or direct sales are permitted.
Products or services may not be advertised, solicited, or sold in library
meeting rooms or on library property. However, exceptions may be allowed at
library-sponsored events.
When meeting rooms are not being used by the library or library-related
organizations, they will be available to other eligible groups on equal terms,
regardless of the beliefs or affiliation of those requesting the their use.
Meeting space occupancy may not exceed that set forth by the Fire Marshal.
All persons attending must conform to the Rules of Conduct
guidelines.
Other Marion County Public Library facilities and grounds may be made
available for public meetings at the discretion of the Library Director.
Marion County Administration and Library Administration will establish
guidelines, Regulations, and procedures for the implementation of this policy
including, but not limited to, scheduling and cancellations, application for use
form, damage deposit, publicity, special arrangements, and conditions of use.
