The Reading Room is available as meeting space for individuals or organized groups in the Library service area.  Exceptions may be made by the Library Board if the Board deems extenuating circumstances are involved. Contact the librarian to schedule use of the room.

Seating is limited in the Reading Room. For larger groups, consider using the Mercer Community Center, which is connected to the library. Reservations for the Community Center are handled by the Mercer Town Clerk.

 The fact that a group is permitted to meet at the Library does not in any way constitute an endorsement of the group’s policies or beliefs by the Library staff or the Board.
