A Place to Meet

Library facilities will not be made available to for-profit organizations. Any questions of interpretation will be referred to the Library Director for final decision. The policy for the use of the facility is established by the Library Board of Trustees and is subject to change at any time.

Seventy-five percent of meeting participants must be residents of the Grosse Pointe Public Library service area.

At least one adult must be present for every 6 meeting participants under the age of 14.

Request and inquiries for room reservations by persons with permits should be made by filling out the online form at least 10 days before the date of the meeting. Room reservations will be accepted no more than six months in advance and no more than once a month, per group. Room reservation requests will be reviewed Monday-Friday. Submitting an application does not confirm the reservation. A reservation will be confirmed via phone or email after an application is submitted. Questions? Call 313-343-2325

Anyone wishing to use a meeting room must have a permit approved by the Library Director. Permits may be issued for a single meeting or for periodic meetings and will be sent to the person submitting the request.

All permits granting use of the meeting room for a year expire at the close of the library's fiscal year in June.

A permit is subject to cancellation, and future permits will be denied, in the event the applicant violates the law or disrupts normal library activities, while occupying library facilities.

The fact that a group is permitted to meet at the Grosse Pointe Public Library does not in any way constitute an endorsement of the group's policies or beliefs.

The Library's name may not be used for any purposes other than to indicate location of the program.

The meeting rooms at the Ewald Branch and the Woods Branch are available Monday through Thursday from 10:00 am to 8:30 pm. The rooms are available on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The rooms are not available on Sundays.

All users of the library's facilities agree to comply with all applicable laws and local ordinances.

The use of alcoholic beverages, controlled substances, and smoking is prohibited at the Grosse Pointe Public Libraries.

The registering of participants for a program will be the responsibility of the sponsoring group, not of the library.

Meeting room users are expected to collect, contain, and dispose of litter and debris accumulated as a result of their activity. Each group will be responsible for any damage to the building or its contents.

If special cleaning of the facility is needed, the group will be charged a minimum of $50.00

No materials or decorations may be attached to door or walls.

Excessive noise or disturbances will not be tolerated.
