SERVICES: 

We’re happy to be a good neighbor by providing free self-serve meeting rooms. (Self-serve means you may move furniture, but you will need to return room to original set-up. Technology support may be available.) Users of this space must agree to and follow the Library Community Room policy.

Quiet study rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis during open hours. There are often quiet study tables too, but they are within the main library space.

There is no art display at this time.

 
Interested in displaying your work at Main Library?
The Library selects displays to share a variety of artistic mediums, styles, and points of view within the community. Art to be displayed should adhere to local community standards and be appropriate for both youth and adult audiences. Please note—we receive far more submissions than our modest spaces allow.

The Art Tatum African American Resource Center was founded in 1989 as a dedicated space to provide cultural, educational, and historical information on African American cultural heritage and experiences. It also recognizes and celebrates the contributions and accomplishments of African Americans who call Toledo home.
