Rotary Room Quick Facts

  1. There is a $20 fee ONLY if food will be served during your meeting.
  2. Library events take precedence over any other event, therefore, there is a possibility of being bumped from the calendar. Note: there is a guaranteed week advance notice of this if it happens.
  3. With seating the Rotary Room holds up to 80 people; without seating up to 200.
  4. If set-up and/or clean-up time are necessary, please build that time into the booking. Usage beyond the scheduled time is NOT allowed.
