Meeting Rooms

Our meeting rooms are intended to further the library’s mission of facilitating the free exchange of diverse ideas and information.  The rooms, therefore, are generally reserved for library activities, including programs presented by library staff, by the Friends of Rogers Free Library, and/or other groups affiliated with the library. Whenever the meeting rooms are not being used for library activities, however, they may be available to the public for educational, cultural, non-profit, civic, or governmental programs or meetings.

How to Reserve a Room

Submit a reservation request by using our online booking websites (click “Call Dibs/Reserve Now” below) or by contacting the library at 401-253-6948.
