HAWLEY LIBRARY - MEETING SPACE
Meeting Spaces are currently unavailable.
Whether it's small, medium or large, the Hawley Library has the perfect FREE meeting space for your group. That's right - there's NO CHARGE for your group to use our Community Room, Green Room or Study Space!
COMMUNITY ROOM
Our private Community Room is located downstairs, has its own mini-kitchen and restroom facilities, and is fully handicapped accessible. Maximum capacity is 49 persons, tables and chairs are on-site and available for use. Advance booking is required and subject to certain restrictions detailed in the 'POLICIES' section below.
GREEN ROOM
The 'Green Room', also located downstairs, is open for the public to use at any time during normal library hours as long as the space hasn't been reserved for another party. Containing one long six-top, two four-tops and one three-top tables, the Green Room comfortably accommodates groups of up to 12-14 people. The space is open to the rest of the floor, so if privacy is a concern we suggest opting for the Community Room. Advance booking is required for any groups of more than 6 people and subject to certain restrictions detailed in the 'POLICIES' section below.
STUDY SPACE - COMPUTER LAB
Meeting space for study and other small groups is available without advance booking in our upstairs Computer Lab area. Two tables are in place with four chairs per, and extra chairs are available upon request. We do ask that conversation be kept to a reasonable volume to ensure that patrons using the computers aren't disturbed by your group's activities.
