"Reservations may not be made more than 60 days in advance. A
group may not reserve a room more than one time per month. Exceptions
to these reservation rules may be made for institutes, seminars or
education courses held by the Library, the City of Georgetown or
established educational institutions, or for activities of the Friends
of the Georgetown Public Library."
After much discussion, it was decided that a doctor from the
Family Chiropractic Clinic be allowed to hold a seminar on the proper
care of the back in the library meeting room, with the provision that
no advertising materials be distributed at the meeting. It must also
be clearly understood that the seminar is not sponsored or endorsed by
the Georgetown Public Library.
John Duer will look over the Library Meeting Room and Board Room
Policy from a legal standpoint, and will bring any suggestions he has
for changes or revisions to a later meeting.
