Library Meeting Room Use is Free for Non-Profit Orgs!

With passage of the FY'11 municipal budget, the City Council also approved a new Fee Schedule for city departments. We're very happy to report that, at the recommendation of the Library Director, the fee for non-profit organizations to use the two meeting rooms (Trustees Room or Lecture Hall) at the Dover Public Library has been removed! As of July 1, 2010, we'd like to welcome back---for free!---all those local non-profit groups and organizations who could no afford to meet at the library when we started charging a fee.

There is still a per-use-fee for profit-making organizations ($30 for the Trustees Room; $60 for the Lecture Hall), but all non-profits, many struggling with fundraising to stay afloat, may book meeting rooms for free once again at the DPL!

How do you book a meeting room? Well, first a representative of the group must come in and fill out an Application, then it's first come, first serve for the rooms. If you can book way ahead, you'll probably get the day and time you wish. And as they say, certain other restrictions apply and we can fill you in on the rules! Call the Circulation Desk 516-6050 for more information on this service.
