The use of the meeting room at the Clifton Springs Library is primarily for programs conducted or sponsored by the library. Priority is also given to programs conducted or sponsored by community groups and non-for-profit organizations whose aims are educational, cultural, and/or for civic betterment. All groups looking to use the meeting room must submit a Meeting Room Application with payment (if applicable) before the room is reserved. Applications are available at the circulation desk and on our website.
