FLOSSMOOR PUBLIC LIBRARY
MEETING ROOM POLICY
The meeting room and the conference room of the Flossmoor Pubic Library are available to community groups and organizations whose objectives are cultural, educational or civic in character.  The meeting room and conference room are not available for use by for-profit organizations.  A for-profit organization is one whose primary purpose is the sale of property or services for monetary gain.  Use of the meeting room does not constitute sponsorship or endorsement by the Flossmoor Public Library or Board of the user or of the user’s beliefs.  The Library will not discriminate in making its premises available for use on the basis of race, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, political affiliation or physical limitation.  Use of the meeting room must follow conditions established by the Board of Trustees.  The following conditions and regulations apply:
