Library Meeting Space Policy
The primary purpose of identifying gathering spaces at the Library is to enable the library to extend its
own programs to the New Berlin community. As a further service, the library offers the use of its space
when available, for meetings and programs engaging in civic, educational, cultural, intellectual, or
charitable activities.
Meeting room use requires an application, which will be reviewed and approved by the Public
Services Manager and may require approval from the Library Director. Meetings may be scheduled
only during the hours the library is open. Groups may reserve the meeting room(s) a maximum of 12
times within a calendar year, with an option for six additional reservations, based on availability.
Applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis and no group shall have exclusive
rights to library facilities or grounds.
To reserve a meeting room, an online application must be submitted a minimum of 5 business days
(Monday-Friday) prior to the meeting date to allow sufficient time for review and processing. The
application is available on the Library’s website:newberlinlibrary.org
Study Rooms (2nd floor Study Room A and E) use requires reservation through our website and
may be scheduled a week in advance for a maximum of 2 hours per day. Other study rooms are
not reservable and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Other areas of the facility or grounds are available during the Library’s operating hours, and
requests should be submitted to the Public Services Manager by emailing
roomreservations@newberlinlibrary.org. Such requests will be reviewed by the Library Director, may
require approval from the Library Board and may be subject to additional usage fees.
The New Berlin Public Library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints of meetings or
meeting room users. Informational flyers, advertisements, or any other publications issued by the
group must explicitly state: “The New Berlin Public Library and its Board of Trustees do not
endorse or sponsor this event.”
Use of facilities must be in compliance with Library policies and all Federal, State and local laws; ADA,
safety standards, and building-code requirements. This would include, but not be limited to, promoting
or engaging in seditious activities. To meet eligibility, the library, at its discretion, may require groups to
provide proof of insurance, residency and/or tax exemption.
Prohibited Uses
Activities which result in financial gain for the room user, group, or organization. This includes,
but not limited to, fundraising, money-making events, charging admission, selling merchandise,
soliciting donations, or the promotion, advertising, or selling of services, programs, or products.
The only exceptions are Library programs, and events hosted by the Friends of New Berlin
Public Library, Inc.
The collection or compilation of mailing or contact lists for any type of future solicitation.
Animals, except those designated as service animals by ADA, are not permitted in the Library.
Service animals do not include emotional support animals. Programs sponsored by the Bridges
Library System are exempt.
Return engagement by a group or organization that has made any abuse of the facilities or
regulations in an earlier use of the Library.
Any purpose which in the opinion of the Library Director or Library Board, may interfere with the
use of the Library or other Library functions.

Equipment & Cleaning Fees: Should groups require the use of projection equipment, microphones or
cables in the meeting space(s), there is a $10 service fee. Non-Profit applicants are exempt from this fee.
Items may not be hung on or posted to windows, walls or doors. We ask that trash and recyclables be
taken to the Library’s outdoor garbage area to the rear of the building and that users vacuum the floor as
necessary. Any spills should be reported immediately to the front desk. Should there be any additional
cleaning required after a meeting by our custodial staff, a cleaning fee shall be assessed to the applicant

State and/or local permits for sound, food service, staging, or additional fees or expense that usage may
incur.

otherwise noted. This is generally done within 5 business days by the Public Services Manager.
