Meeting Rooms

Public Use of Library Meeting Rooms

The primary purpose of meeting rooms is to provide space for activities and programs related to the Library’s mission, vision, and core values. When not required for Library purposes, meeting rooms may be scheduled free-of-charge by non-profit community organizations and parish governmental agencies, subject to approval.

The Livingston Parish Library Board of Control has set forth rules and regulations for the use of meeting room spaces for non-library programs and events. This policy is to be read and agreed upon by anyone/any group applying for reservation of a meeting room before the applications will be accepted.

Failure to uphold library policies or a violation of applicable local/state/federal laws may result in either termination or suspension of meeting room privileges.

For a complete look at the Library's rules and regulations pertaining to meeting room usage, please see the Livingston Parish Library Policy Manual (Meeting Room Policy, 4-407).

Meeting rooms are available at all five branches of the Livingston Parish Library.

Persons requesting meeting room space must have a library card with the Livingston Parish Library. 

Use of the meeting rooms by various organizations and groups does not constitute endorsement, by the Livingston Parish Library and the Livingston Parish Library Board of Control, of the policies, views, or beliefs expressed by a group as a whole or by individual participants in the meetings.

Livingston Parish Library programs and sponsored events have priority in the use of meeting room space. The Library reserves the right to reschedule previously approved meeting room reservations to accommodate library-sponsored programs and events. In the event the library must reschedule a confirmed meeting room reservation, the Library will give a 1 week (5 business days) notice of such to the scheduled group.

All meetings must be free and open to the general public.

No solicitation may take place during the group’s use of a meeting room. Special permission must be sought for the following:

• Classes or programs that require a small fee to cover supply expenses (but NOT payment for speaker, etc.)
• Classes or programs which require advanced registration due to limited availability (however, registration must be open to the general public)
• Authors/book signings not sponsored by Livingston Parish Library

The Library has the right to cancel the use of the meeting rooms by any group or organization that fails to follow the Library’s rules and regulations.
