Space Policies
Please note: Starting January 2018 the Tween & Teen Room is only for middle and high school aged people between 2 and 4 PM on school days. During that time the downstairs non-fiction section of the library is off-limits to children those ages unless accompanied by an adult. Thank you for understanding and allowing teens to have their own space to study, create, and unwind after school.

Tutors: The bottom floor of the library is WSL's preferred location for tutoring in 2 or 3 person groups on a first-come, first-served basis. The Childrens Room is not available to tutors unless accompanied by a child under 10.
WSL does not guarantee that space will be available for tutoring or the noise level of the library will be suitable for tutoring at any given time. Tutors can review WSL's Calendar before making tutoring appointments with their students if this is a concern.
The Tween & Teen Room may be available for groups or individuals to make public presentations on a space available basis. The library's use of the space takes precedence over an outside group. Please refer to WSL's Events Calendar for available dates and times. Presentations cannot be scheduled outside of the library's regular hours. Contact the library director at rsasseville@cwmars.org with questions.
The library can provide a projection screen, projector, and extension cords.
