[Michlib-l] Expanding Service to include a Performance Venue booked by the public or Art Museum or Historical Museum?

Are any of you Public Library Experts aware of any public libraries here in Michigan or the nation, who have operations responsibility for performance venue booked by the public for non-library events? Could be an art museum or a historical museum operations manager? We're looking at an interesting collaboration with our Hartland Music Hall and the Schools with Cromaine considering leasing the Hall and operating it. We need additional auditorium space; they need a cultural legacy to continue to be available (and not turn into, for example, a brewery). Any models I can look to? Your help is appreciated.
