Meeting Rooms

Meeting rooms are provided at no charge for library sponsored programs which meet the library’s civic, informational, cultural, educational and recreational service goals. The Library appreciates donations to help us maintain these facilities. 

The room is made available when not in use for library programs, under the following rules:

  1. The meeting room is available free of charge during normal library hours of operation unless prior approval is given by the library director.
  2. Maximum seating capacity is 60 persons.
  3. The Group/Organization agrees to indemnify the Andover Public Library and its staff and Board against all liability to persons or property on the premises.
  4. We ask for the application 3 weeks in advance of the meeting date. The library Director will confirm the reservation. Reservations for ongoing meetings are due the first of each year.
  5. Repeating meetings will be subject to re-scheduling if they conflict with library programming.
  6. The meeting room will not be available for any non-library-sponsored individual or organization that charges a fee.
  7. The meeting room may not be reserved exclusively for exhibition, meetings, or display for more than one full day.
  8. For all events, the meeting room must be left in its original condition. Simple refreshments may be served provided users bring their own supplies and utensils.
  9. Groups will be charged for all damages and cleanup beyond normal use of the furniture and equipment.
  10. The library reserves the right to discontinue use of the meeting room/s by any individual or group which disturbs the usual operation and/or proceedings of the Library, or in any manner does not comply with the requirements stated in this policy/application.
