Meeting Rooms


Library Meeting Rooms are generally used for Library events. When a room is not being used the Library, it is available for other individuals and organizations by request, regardless of opinion or affiliation. The Library does not sponsor or endorse the view of any outside group using the room, nor does it provide any supervision.

A Meeting Room use application must be approved before arrangements for use of the room can be made. Applications must be submitted and arrangements must be completed at least ten (10) days in advance of the event and no more than three (3) months in advance.

Meetings that are not co-sponsored by the Library must ensure that any promotional material or publicity advertising their meeting shall not claim that the Library is presenting, sponsoring, promoting or endorsing their meeting, and the Library’s logo may not be used in any publicity materials. Publicity notices must include the following disclaimer: “This program is neither sponsored by nor affiliated with the Sonoma County Library.

Sorry, the Library does NOT provide Audio/Visual (A/V) equipment, projector/screen, set-up or clean-up.

Free Public WiFi is available in Library Meeting Rooms.
