I would recommend that we clearly differentiate between Study Room use and <br /> Meeting Room use, and do.not apply the same standards to the two locations. <br /> group of four people in a Study.Room would not constitute. a public meeting, and <br /> the Library would not attempn to ascertain the nature of the exchange between <br /> parties. <br /> The larger Meeting Rooms would continue to be reserved in adherence with <br /> Meeting Room policy, which does not allow for the rooms to be used for <br /> commercial ventures.

I will forward information in a separate FDF form. <br /> The Cape Cod volunteers have quietly begun using the Library as their <br /> Opportunity Center. They are planning.a large launch program in the v nt <br /> Room on October 30, and would life to invite the Friends of the Library, and <br /> other local organizations and non-profits who might be seeking volunteers, to F <br /> reserve a table. we are working with the group to generate local publicity for <br />
