Meeting Room Policy
Visit this page to book our meeting room.
The Meeting Room is located in the lower level of the library. In some cases, the staff break room, the Kansas Room, and the library courtyard may be used as meeting spaces, all of which fall under the guidelines of the Meeting Room policy.
The Atchison Public Library supports the values of the community and the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights which states in part: “Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.” Legal exceptions are listed below.
When not needed for library purposes, the Meeting Room is available to all non-profit groups and locally-owned for-profit businesses at no charge. Other groups may use the room at the rate of $20 per hour with a one-hour minimum.
