Library Program Rooms
Henderson District Public Libraries also has large program rooms designated for library programs and activities. These facilities are not available for use by non-library groups or individuals. Library staff may partner with groups or individuals to offer programs and activities utilizing these facilities that provide a public benefit and contribute to the library’s mission. Groups or individuals who are interested in presenting such programs may make a written proposal to the appropriate branch manager according to established procedures.

Program series must have a specific conclusion agreed upon at the time of scheduling. No series is allowed to continue perpetually.
Programs and activities must take place within the library’s regular schedule of open hours.
Promotion of the library and its services must be allowed in conjunction with programs.
Selling, solicitation, and commercial activities are prohibited.
