The Bremen Public Library Board of Trustees welcomes the use of the library meeting rooms to groups of community citizens. The major mission of the library is to provide for the informational, cultural, educational, and recreational needs of its people. Therefore, the Library Board believes that the library should serve as an open forum for providing and exchanging information, and it is expected that the meeting rooms will be used to accomplish this goal. However, the fact that a group is permitted to meet at the library does not in any way constitute an endorsement of the group’s policies or beliefs.
There is a fee for meeting room bookings by profit groups. Non-profit organizations may reserve space at no charge. Please see the Meeting Room Policy for more information on booking, availability, fees, and terms of use.
