Request Event in the Library

Info Needed for Library Events

It is fine to provide this information as your plans develop and change. We strongly recommend confirming at least the time and date availability with us as soon as possible.

We will need to review and approve*:

  • Desired date
  • Time block AND setup time block (if applicable)
  • Library area
  • Basic event description/idea
  • Outside attendees (school visits, BOW, guest speakers)
  • Furniture needs (moving furniture, additional furniture, etc)
  • You must speak with us if you plan to move bookshelves so that we can ensure safety.
  • Decorations
  • IT needs (microphones, other A/V, etc.)
  • Food/Catering ("catered dinner," "bags of chips," etc. We don't need a full menu!)

*Approval is based on whether our space and layout are appropriate for your plans. We typically do not make judgements on the value of event topics or purposes, but all events must comply with Library and College policies, as well as all laws and regulations.

If you are struggling with decisions about your event, need guidance on IT/Facilities/Catering or other departments, or would just like some feedback, please reach out. We need to know these details and can help you figure them out. We have a lot of event experience!
