The Cuyahoga Falls Library has meeting rooms that are used primarily for library-related programming. When available, meeting rooms can be reserved for use by others. Library meeting rooms are available to local educational, cultural, civic, social, political, religious, professional and other non-profit organizations at no charge. Units of government and appointed or elected officials may also use library meeting rooms.

• The right of a group to meet in the Library does not constitute an endorsement of the group’s policies or beliefs by Cuyahoga Falls Library.
• The needs of the Library and its affiliates take precedence over those of other organizations.
• The Library will notify a group as soon as possible if its meeting room reservation must be canceled.
