Looking for a space to meet? The Library offers meeting space for groups of up to 125.
Quiet study rooms are intended for collaborative work, short meetings, quiet study and research by individuals and small groups of up to four.
Mahwah residents over 18 with a library card may reserve a quiet study room for two hour, up to a week in advance. Room reservations will only be held for 15 minutes, after which time another individual or group may reserve or use the room. Non-residents are welcome to use the quiet study rooms on a walk-in basis but may not reserve them in advance.
Individuals requesting use of a quiet study room must be at least 18 years old. Minors may use a quiet study room only if they are accompanied by an adult over 18 at all times.
The Library welcomes community groups, charitable and commercial organizations to apply for the use of selected meeting rooms and areas, as available. Meeting space is made available to eligible non-partisan, secular community organizations and tax-supported government bodies for public meetings on an equal basis, provided that the use of the meeting room does not interfere with the effective use of the Library by the general public or the regular operation of the Library. Learn more about the Room Use Policy.
Note that we are unable to process last-minute meeting room reservations. Reservations may be made at least one week in advance, but not more than three months in advance, of the requested meeting date.
