Body
These regulations establish policy and procedures for the use of Salt Lake City Public Library meeting room facilities. The Library grants permission to use its meeting rooms to members of the public who fulfill the requirements specified in the regulations, in accordance with the Library's mission and to maintain the good order of the Library. The Library's mission statement is:
The Salt Lake City Public Library is a dynamic civic resource that promotes free and open access to information, materials, and services to all members of the community to advance knowledge, foster creativity, encourage the exchange of ideas, strengthen community, and enhance the quality of life.
Any group or individual, regardless of the affiliations of its members, may use library meeting room(s) as long as the group or individual complies with the policy as stated. The Library does not discriminate in making its premises available for use on the basis of sex, race, creed, religion, color, culture or ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation, individual lifestyle, political affiliation, or physical limitation.
Generally, there is no fee for the use of individual meeting rooms. For organizations or individuals needing multiple meeting rooms over extended time periods, after-hours events, private meetings, or commercial use, the Library’s conference facilities are available for a rental fee that covers the Library’s expenses in making the facility available (see fee schedule). The Main Library’s Rooftop Garden and Urban Room can only be rented after-hours.
The Library offers the use of satellite equipment as part of the meeting room options at the Day-Riverside Branch Library. Because satellite transmissions may involve a cost, the recuperation of such costs is governed by the satellite equipment guidelines sections. Fees for use of satellite equipment are contained in the fee schedule.
