Manchester City Library is very pleased to offer meeting rooms for groups and organizations in Greater Manchester. There is no charge for the use of Manchester City Library facilities unless an admission fee is being charged or the piano will be used. If admission is being charged, the library charges $100 for the use of the Auditorium or the Winchell Room, $50 for the use of the Hunt Room, or $50 for the use of the West Branch Meeting Room. The piano use fee is $50. All fees must be paid in full one week before the program.
Advertisement of the program is the responsibility of the organization sponsoring the event. We would be glad to post any advertisement you provide one week prior to the program.
These rooms are available for booking any time the library is open. Each group or organization may book a room once a month. Meeting rooms are available from 30 minutes after the library opens until 15 minutes before the library closes. Food and drink is allowed in the Winchell Room and all meeting rooms at the West Branch, but not in the Auditorium or the Hunt Room.
Equipment for meetings/events at the Main Library must be requested on the room booking form. This form must be completed at least seven (7) days in advance of the date for which the room is being requested. We appreciate being given prompt notice of meeting/event cancellation either in person, by mail or by phone. Those using our meeting rooms are asked to leave them as they found them. It is important that groups observe these rules in order to remain in good standing with the library. Each group needs to respect the rights of the next group, to conduct matters that are legal and which do not disrupt the orderly running of a library.
When the Library Director determines that the proposed use of the meeting
room(s) will require additional security or police presence, the Booking organization shall be responsible for pre-paying all of the cost of same.
