COMMUNITY SUPPORT: Update on library room reservations and rentals
L109 and L111 are regular classrooms for several class periods per day. Our public library branch also holds regular weekly programming in those spaces at various times of the day. Therefore, please send a detailed email request for use of those spaces to lperez3@neisd.net or to ddaven@neisd.net, and allow at least 24 hours for a response.
The same procedure should be followed when requesting use of the Conference Room. Use of these rooms for school-sponsored activities is free. Other uses will incur a rental fee, of $20 per hour, to be paid to Dee Dee Davenport, the SAPL Branch Manager.
Thanks for using the library and library resources!!
