Meeting Rooms

All Scott County Library meeting room reservations are canceled to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).  We are not accepting future reservations at this time.  

Please watch for Meeting Room announcements on our COVID-19 Response Page. If you have questions, please contact us at linotices@co.scott.mn.us or call your local branch. 

Meeting Room Policies


Free public meeting rooms and study rooms are available in all of our libraries. Our full Meeting Room Policy (PDF)​ is available for you to read, but here are a few key points:

  • To reserve a room, submit your request online or speak with staff to make the reservation on your behalf. See below for directions. 
  • Rooms may be requested up to 90 days in advance. To ensure equitable access to meeting rooms, the Library reserves the right to limit groups to 5 meetings per month.
  • Meeting room use may not interfere with the normal functions of the library. 
  • Meeting rooms can be used during library closed hours in Belle Plaine, Elko New Market, Jordan, New Prague, and Shakopee. You will need to check out a key with your library card if using a room outside of normal library hours. Key instructions will be sent with your confirmation email. 
  • The Library may not be identified or implied as a co-sponsor without prior approval from the Branch Manager. Any publicity used to promote the meeting room activity must include the following language: This is not a Scott County Library event. 
  • Light refreshments may be served. Each group is responsible for cleaning up after use. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
  • No audio/visual equipment is available in the rooms or for checkout.
