During Library Hours

The library offers free use of the meeting room for meetings and programs that serve an educational, cultural, civic, or recreational purpose.  Meetings and programs must be free and open to the public, non-commercial, and scheduled during open hours.  The meeting room is intended for specific events rather than for regularly scheduled, ongoing meetings.

If you're interested in reserving the meeting room during open hours, please review our Library Policies. If your group meets the requirements, please fill out the Meeting Room Request Form online, scan a downloadable form, or drop by the library to fill out a form in person. If staff approve the request, you will be contacted by phone or email.

To reserve the room outside of library hours, please see below.

After-Hours Facility Use

Spaces in the library, including the meeting room, may be used for events and meetings during hours when the library is not open on a limited basis by reservation and for a fee. All after-hours events must be approved in advance by the Library Director and supervised by library staff or other supervisors approved by the Library Director. Scheduling of after-hours events is dependent upon availability of an individual approved to supervise. The fee for use may be waived at the discretion of the Library Director on a case-by-case basis for non-profit groups that provide significant support to the Library or Friends of the Homer Public Library. See the downloadable After-Hours Facility Use Agreement or online form for fees and the conditions of use.
