About Program Partnerships
Priority is given to programs that complement the library’s collections and services, or support the library’s vision, mission and strategic priorities.
If we choose your program, we provide:
- Venue (Library Annex or Flex Room)
- Coordination of the program in partnership with you
- Poster design and online marketing support
- Event liability insurance
If you have a program already planned out and you just need a space, you can rent one of our rooms to host your program independently.
