Branch Meeting Rooms

Each branch of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library is home to a public meeting room that is available free of charge. These rooms, in fulfillment of our mission are available for educational, instructional, or civic programs when library programs are not scheduled. Private parties are not permitted. The library does not necessarily endorse the purposes, policies, products, or claims of those who use its meeting rooms. Scheduled meetings may be superseded by library-sponsored activities.
