Room Rentals

Torrington Library encourages public use of meeting rooms as gathering places to exchange ideas, access and share information and participate in programs created for public enjoyment, public education and civic engagement. 

The public may rent the room for private or corporate events, including meetings, conferences, lectures, private parties/showers, and more!

​​Rooms are currently available only during library hours:
​

​Please be aware that all events must end 15 minutes before the library building closed.

Chairs and tables are already in the rented space. The library does not promote or advertise events put on by renters.

Private Party Rental Guidelines (In addition to our regular room policy)

A $100.00 facilities deposit (cash or check only) is REQUIRED for all private party rentals.  Upon completion of your party, a library staff member will examine the condition of the rented space.  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.
A few things to keep in mind!
 
Cleanup
Renters 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.  

Decorations
Renters may bring decorations as they see fit, with the following restrictions:
  • No decorations may be “pinned” or nailed to any surface.
  • No flames aside from candles on birthday cakes.
  • No popcorn, glitter, or confetti. 

Food & Drink
Alcoholic beverages are prohibited on Torrington Library property at all times. You may bring food and non-alcoholic beverages to serve during the birthday party, and store them in our available refrigerators and freezers. All food and drink must be removed from the reserved area and Torrington Library refrigerators and freezers no later than 30 minutes after the party’s scheduled end time. Guests are not permitted to use Library supplies (i.e. cups, plates, napkins, sugar, creamer, coffee, etc.) stored in the Community Room space.
