What do I need to know about booking a room?

• All rentals must be paid in advance.
• Your reservation encompasses the entirety of the time you have access to the room. If you need time to set-up or clean-up, factor this into your room booking. (ex. Your room reservation is from 12pm – 4pm: You may not enter the room until 12pm; you must be out of the room by 4pm.)
•  Room set-up is not provided but can be requested for an additional $50 fee. During the booking process, select “Set-up” and provide a detailed description in the space below. Paid set-up is available 10am – 5pm, Monday – Friday, and begins at the start of your reservation.
• Paid room set-up begins at the start of your room reservation, please factor this into your time when placing your reservation.
• Pricing for reservations is determined by 4-hour blocks. If you need a room for more than 4-hours, you must pay the fee for an additional 4-hours. (ex. You book the Conference Room from 12pm - 5pm; you pay $20 for 12pm-4pm + $20 for 4pm-5pm= $40)
• Reservations more than 4 hours long must be made as multiple, separate booking requests.
• Reservations can only be made 90 days in advance.
• Due to limited staffing A/V and technical support is not guaranteed on weekends.
• All rental requests should be made through the Book A Room link found at the bottom of this page. If you need assistance placing the booking, call (205) 445-1133 or email fmcmenamy@oneallibrary.org.
