The Upper Arlington Public Library follows all applicable laws and legal decisions regarding the use of public space by outside groups. Any request for use of meeting space may be referred to the Director for approval.

When they are not scheduled for Library functions, Library meeting rooms are available for use without charge by organizations, individuals and businesses provided the meeting does not involve solicitation. Meetings held at the Library must be free and open to the public.

Meeting rooms are available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use. Acceptance of a meeting room request does not imply the Library’s endorsement of the viewpoints of the requesting group or individual.

Organizations will be assessed for any damage to facilities, furniture or equipment incurred during the period of use.

Organizations or individuals using the meeting rooms agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Library and their agents and employees from all liability, claims, damages, or costs, for or arising out of use of meeting rooms, whether it be caused by the negligence of the Library or either party’s agents or employees or otherwise.
