Library Meeting Rooms

2024 Applications for Use of Meeting Rooms are being accepted at this time. See Steps 1,2 and 3 below. Once your application has been processed, you will be contacted by the Library regarding reservations for 2024.

Meeting Rooms are available at all locations of the East Baton Rouge Parish Library System. Information on the size of the meeting rooms and accommodations at each library can be found here (Step 1).

The primary purpose of library meeting rooms is to provide space for activities and programs related to the Library’s Mission and Vision. When not required for library purposes, meeting rooms may be scheduled free-of-charge by non-profits, local community organizations and governmental agencies, subject to the approval of the East Baton Rouge Parish Library Meeting Room Committee.

The Library is committed to making spaces available to the public on a fair and equitable basis regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use. We support free reservable spaces in libraries throughout East Baton Rouge Parish where groups can come together to learn and exchange information and ideas in a commercial-free environment.

In order to use the meeting rooms, organizations must make application in accordance with the directions and guidelines outlined in this policy. Contact information and meeting schedules must be updated annually in December. We strongly encourage groups to make their application online and we will be happy to assist you in the process.
