Meeting Room Use

The primary purpose of the meeting rooms at Driftwood Public library is for library and library related purposes and program space. When not in use by the library, the meeting rooms may be used by various other city departments or by the community at large.

Meetings sponsored by any group are open to the public; no admission charges will be permitted except for charitable events approved by the Library Board. Use of the meeting rooms is permitted only within library operating hours.

The Driftwood Public Library Board and the City of Lincoln City do not bar access to the meeting rooms to anyone on the basis of race, religion, sex, creed, age, national origin, or social and/or political views. The endorsement of such views is not implied by permitting any group to use the meeting rooms.

In order to allow many different groups to have an opportunity to use the library meeting rooms, any repetitive use other than the library will be reviewed on a routine basis.

Applicants will complete a room reservation form to confirm each date.  Room fees are payable at the time of application. No refunds will be made if a cancellation is initiated by the applicant. No food or drink other than water will be allowed in library meeting rooms.

If it becomes necessary due to a conflict in scheduling, the library reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any meeting room use. A full refund will be made should the library initiate the cancellation.

Meetings or seminars that do not have a library purpose and that charge a tuition fee to individuals attending the meeting will be subject to the commercial group fee.
