AskGCPL: About GCPL

Meeting/community room space is available at the Duluth, Five Forks, Collins Hill, Norcross, Snellville and Suwanee branches.  Duluth and Norcross, have collaboration rooms which hold 10 people and booking follows the same guidelines as the larger meeting rooms.

Meeting and Collaboration Rooms

The Library offers the use of Meeting and Collaboration rooms by non-profit or not-for-profit organizations and government or public education agencies for activities of a civic, cultural, or educational nature that are consistent with the Library’s mission. Meeting rooms are not available for purely social purposes, or for the benefit of private individuals or commercial concerns.

Payments can be made online, in person at the library, or mailed to the location of the meeting room requested.
• Reservations for less than seven days in advance must be paid before being entered into the calendar.
