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: Monday, Tuesday, Friday 10am-6pm Wednesday and Thursday 10am-8pm Saturday 10am-3pm Please be aware that all events must end 15 minutes before the library building closed. Renters are responsible for set-up and breakdown of rooms. Library representatives are not available to help with set-up and breakdown. Chairs and tables are already in the rented space. The library does not promote or advertise events put on by renters. Click here to see our Room Rental Agreement: Printable PDF. |

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.
