I. PURPOSE
It is the policy of the Santa Clarita Public Library to allow public, private, and non-profit organizations use of Library Community Rooms as space and availability permit, following the Library policies and fee schedule.
II. GUIDELINES FOR ROOM USE
The use of Library Community Rooms by public and private groups is subordinate to the operating requirements of the Santa Clarita Public Library, and, in all cases, will be permitted only when not in conflict with ongoing Library-sponsored activities, including activities of the Friends of the Santa Clarita Public Library. Permission to use the facilities in no way implies endorsement of the meetings or activities conducted in these facilities, except when the event is sponsored by the Library.
III. Reservation holders must sign and adhere to the Santa Clarita Public Library Use Agreement in order to use Library Community Rooms. GROUPS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SET-UP AND BREAK-DOWN.
A. Each group will be responsible for set-up, take down, and clean-up. Users need to allow enough time within their reservation period to accomplish these tasks. Community rooms are to be returned to their original condition and configuration by the time the Library closes.
B. Equipment, supplies, or personal effects cannot be stored or left in the Library Community Rooms before or after use.
IV. EXCEPTIONS
There are no exceptions to this Policy without the express authorization of the City Manager.
