Parents will have access to the reserved area 30 minutes prior to the party’s scheduled start time. Guests will not be allowed into the reserved area prior to the party’s scheduled start time. All party attendees must leave the reserved area no later than 30 minutes after the party’s scheduled end time.

Cleanup
Parents are expected to place all trash and debris inside designated receptacles prior to vacating the reserved area. Excessive garbage and/or mess (especially if food/drink is spilled resulting in damages) and failure to comply with cleanup guidelines will result in loss of $100.00 facilities deposit.  If the room is left in good condition, the deposit will be returned within 7 business days of the party.  The Children's Room staff is responsible for clean up of any library related crafts, but not for food, drink, and wrapping paper.
