Skokie Public Library
Meeting Room Policy

The primary purpose of Skokie Public Library meeting rooms is to provide facilities for Library activities and functions. When the rooms are not needed for Library use, they may be made available as a designated and limited forum for meetings and programs conducted by not-for-profit groups on subjects of educational, civic, or cultural interest to Skokie residents, according to the following order of priority:

1. Government agencies and professional organizations with which the Library is affiliated

2. Not-for-profit organizations engaged in educational, cultural, or charitable activities in Skokie

Meeting rooms are available free of charge on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs of the groups requesting their use. The meeting rooms are not available to commercial enterprises or for purely social functions. Permission to use Library meeting rooms does not constitute in any way an endorsement by the Library of an organization or its activities, or the viewpoints expressed by the participants in any meeting.

Groups wishing to use the Library’s meeting rooms must comply with the Library’s procedures and rules of use.
