Examples of other documents that prove your address include mail received at your address which includes your name and address, a utility bill, a voter registration card, an insurance card or vehicle registration card with both name and address, etc. Cards for patrons under age 18 must be signed for by a parent or legal guardian.

How do I reserve a meeting room?

The South Charleston Public Library allows non-profit groups to use its meeting rooms free of charge, providing space is available.  For-profit groups may use the meeting room for training or general meetings, but not for sales to the public, at a cost of $25 per hour.  Meeting rooms may not be used meeting rooms for personal occasions, such as parties.

Each meeting room seats 30 to 50 people, depending on room arrangement.  The Library provides tables and chairs, but does not arrange the room for users. Each meeting room features an 8 x 8' white board and an 8 x 8' projection screen.  A wide variety of audiovisual equipment is available for group use, free of charge.  Groups using either room have access to a kitchenette with refrigerator, sink, and microwave oven.  All meeting room users are expected to clean up after themselves.

To reserve a meeting room, contact the Library at 304 744 6561 to determine availability.  Most organizations that use our meeting rooms book space annually.  If your group seeks a space to meet, contact us prior to September 1 and we will send you an application for the following year (January through December).  Only groups of ten or more may reserve meeting space on a regular basis.  All meetings of non-profit groups must be free and open to the public.
