Reserve a Meeting Room
Meeting rooms can be reserved at no cost for use from 8:30am—4:30pm. The primary purpose of meeting rooms is for State Library activities, including programs presented by State Library staff or by other organizations affiliated with the State Library. State of Ohio agencies can reserve meeting rooms for work-related purposes or other members of the library community for library-related functions. To reserve a room, submit a request online or call 614-644–7061 or 800–686–1532 (Ohio only).
We reserve the right to limit the frequency of use of our meeting rooms and to cancel reservations. All booking requests are reviewed before granting approval. Reservations are made on a first come, first serve basis. The needs of the State Library of Ohio take precedence over other groups. We reserve the right to cancel prior meeting room reservations with at least 48 hours notice or with less notice in case of emergency (weather emergencies, etc.).
Reservations for regularly-scheduled meetings can be scheduled up to a year in advance. Reservations can be canceled at any time.
All scheduled meetings are posted on a public calendar.

We do not advocate or endorse the viewpoints of any group or individual. Meeting room use shall not be publicized in such a way as to imply State Library sponsorship.
