Notes and Restrictions
- No Regular Classroom Meeting Space: Rooms are not available for extended scheduling or for regularly repeating class sessions. Rooms may be requested by instructors on occasion to support a special class need, i.e. larger lecture space or access to multimedia equipment.
- Noise: Since library users are studying throughout the building, we reserve the right to refuse any request based on our impression of the likely noise level expected from the event.
- Monetary Gain: No library facility may be used for commercial/sales events or by for-profit organizations. No admission fee may be charged, nor donation requested for any activity taking place in the libraries.
- One Contact: A single contact person must be identified for events, and only that contact person may request changes to the event. Student groups who wish to use rooms must be chartered on campus, and only officers of the group may request the room.
- Movie Showing: No film or video may be shown in the Library without proof of public performance rights, except where shown in conjunction with a Wake Forest class, and in compliance with copyright laws. Contact Swank Motion Pictures, Inc for information on licensing a film for campus use. Written notice of performance rights must be presented at least one business day in advance of performance or the performance will be canceled.
- Equipment: Equipment for all events is limited to what is installed in the rooms. Orientation to equipment can be given in advance of the event. There are instructions posted in the rooms. Technical assistance will not be available during the event unless prior arrangements have been made.
- Fees: Fees for after-hours assistance will be assessed at $30 per hour. What is "after hours" is dependent on the schedule of the library. After 7pm on Friday and Saturday evening and before 10am Saturday and Sunday morning are always considered "after hours."
- Food: Food is allowed in all rooms EXCEPT the Videoconferencing Room, but users must be careful to keep the rooms clean. (See "cleaning" below.)

Furnishings shall not be removed or added to any room without the Library’s knowledge and participation.
- Greeters/Signage: It is the responsibility of the event contact to arrange for greeters or signage to direct people to the appropriate room. This is especially important for events that are scheduled outside of normal library operating hours.
