Policy Changes Affecting Hall Patrons

In order to foster cohesion among the Cranston libraries and compliance with Ocean State Libraries policies, the following policy changes have been instituted:

Meeting Room Policy

• Groups applying to use a meeting room must fill out a Meeting Room Request Form.
• There is a $35.00 fee for the first three hours of use, with an additional $35.00 per hour or part of an hour afterward.
• Payment is due one week prior to room use. Payments are payable to the Cranston Public Library.
• Groups using meeting room space at the William Hall library must vacate the building fifteen minutes prior to closing. After hours use of the meeting rooms is available for theatrical performances only.
• Groups requiring the removal of the piano from the stage area must employ the services of a professional piano mover and are responsible for covering the cost.

Guest Pass Policy

• Guest passes are available for one-hour increments of computer use per day.

Library Card Non-Transferability Policy

• Library cards may only be used by the card holder when checking out materials. This means that even if you have another individual's card in your possession you may not use that card to check out materials if the card holder is not present. This policy change is effective immediately.
