Spaces

Lincoln County Public Library is a community space with areas for meetings, programs, activities, studies, reading, exhibits, bulletin boards, and displays.

Community Rooms

The Community Rooms are ample, open spaces that can comfortably seat people in theater-style seating or at tables and chairs. Primarily used for Library programs and events, the Community Room is also available for various public uses.

Our Community Rooms are the perfect space for local organizations’ meetings, professional workshops or training, or groups needing a community space. The room is available for these approved uses at no cost. The room’s set-up is flexible. The user may rearrange tables and chairs. Additional audiovisual equipment, such as laptops or video conferencing technology, is available upon request.

The Community Room is unavailable for parties, showers, reunions, or social gatherings. See the Community Room Policy for additional information.
