Rules for staff when booking programming/community room
by Jesse Shirtz 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Hello hive mind! Does anyone have a framework they're willing to share for staff regarding how they take reservations for a room that's available for public use? Do you have restrictions for groups/individuals who want to meet repeatedly for a determined or undetermined length of time? How far in advance must they reserve the space? What other parameters are taken into account? Thank you for your help! I would love to not have to start from scratch on creating this for our library. 🙂 Sincerely, Jesse Shirtz Library Director Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library 317 N.
