Requesting Meeting Rooms, and
Meeting Room Regulations

Four meeting rooms for patron use are available at Alexandria Library: two at Beatley Central, one at Burke Branch, and one at Duncan Branch. These rooms are available to patrons and their organizations for meetings of an educational, cultural or civic nature.

Alexandria Library patrons can search for an event in a meeting room and request to reserve a meeting room from the same calendar. Patrons must reserve a meeting room at least a week in advance.

To Search for a Meeting Room Event

Please read the following before clicking on the link below:

1) Text size (small, medium, large) of the calendar can be changed by clicking on the "Text Size" box at the top left corner.

2) Calendar type (Day, Week, Month) can be changed by clicking on the first three blue tabs at the top center.

3) The "Selection" box allows patrons to view in the calendar all branches or to select branches that they wish to view.

4) Change the month or even the year by using the pull down menu for months or the "<Prev" or the "Next>" above the calendar grid. Rooms can only be reserved up to six months in advance.
