Meeting Room Policy Update: Access for All

We’ve made updates to our Meeting Room Policy—based on your feedback.

Meeting rooms are one of our most requested resources, with over 100 community bookings each month (not including Library events). Many of these requests happen during the same high-demand times. To help more people and groups benefit from these spaces, we’ve made a few important changes:

What’s Changed:

  • Maximum reservation length is now 2 hours (extensions are possible if the room is empty).
  • The policy has been revised to be easier to read and understand.

We recognize this may be a shift for some of our regular users, and we truly appreciate your understanding. Our goal is to balance the needs of all community members and provide fair access to shared resources.

We’ll be evaluating this policy over the coming months and welcome your ongoing feedback.

Questions? Please reach out to Library Director Jill Dugas Hughes at director[at]eglibrary.org or 518-477-7476 x109.

Use this page to request a meeting space for your group that will show in our online calendar.  Your event will not be otherwise advertised by the library.

Reservations made through this page must be made at least 7, but no more than 60 days in advance. To request a room with fewer than 7 days’ notice, please visit or call the library (518-477-7476). Reservations requested with fewer than 7 days' notice may not be approved in time to hold your meeting.

If you do not have a library card, apply now. You must make your online card permanent at the physical library before requesting a room. If your library card is rejected for owing money, you can pay online using your library account.

If you would like to suggest a program for the library to present, please fill out this short form.
