Book a Space

Find the right room for you at 20 Library locations

Need some space?

Whether you’re looking for a place for your book club or condo board to meet, or you’re organizing a study group or community gathering, the Library has you covered. Use your free Library card to book free meeting spaces in 20 libraries, with capacity ranging from five to 50 people.

Rooms at community libraries require advanced booking unless marked as drop-in or same-day bookings. All meeting rooms and production studios at Central Library accept same-day bookings.

Book a free meeting room

Rooms can be booked when the Library is open, up to 30 minutes before closing.

Early access for bookings that start right when the Library opens is unavailable.

If you wish to book these large meeting rooms along with the Patricia A. Whelan Performance Hall, please visit Event Spaces at Central Library.
