The Board of Trustees of the Stinson Memorial Library District offers the use
of the facilities to any group of citizens within the area for cultural,
educational, or civic purposes, provided that such meetings be open to the
general public. (Merely social or commercials meetings do not fall within these
categories.) Certain regulations have been established for the use of the
facilities.
Requests for the use of the facilities must be made to the librarian.
Requests will be honored in the order of application. Requests for use by the
same group in excess of once each month will only be granted if there are no
conflicting requests received at least ten day prior to the time requested.
The library board reserves the right to determine justifiable use and
cancellation for just reasons.
Refreshments should be kept simple, such as a beverage and cake or cookies
(finger foods). Alcoholic beverages are not permitted. A group must furnish
its own serving cups and plates, etc.
The organization shall be responsible for any advance preparations and for
leaving the facilities in order after use. Proper clean up and storage of the
organization's own equipment shall be included in this condition. A $10.00
clean up fee may be imposed on any group violating this requirement. The
library does not provide porter service to carry supplies and equipment to the
meeting room. If the services or assistance of staff personnel are desired,
prior arrangements should be made and appropriate charges will be made for
such services.
Children's groups may use the facilities provided they are supervised by
adult sponsors, at the suggested ratio of one adult for each ten children in
attendance.
All meetings shall end by 10:00 p.m.

Library District harmless from any and all actions, suits, causes of or
relating to, its use of such rooms and facilities. Further, such person or
