The Reading Room accommodates presentations and meetings of sizes ranging from small advisory boards to an audience of 110 standing. With hybrid capabilities, virtual attendees can participate easily.
Boardroom setups are great for advisory boards, trainings, or committee meetings. Backbench seating for additional staff can fit in the alcoves, and gallery seating allows space for a small in-person audience.
A boardroom table can be customized using the library's tables to accommodate up to 40 people.
For presentations or panels, the Reading Room can accommodate rows of 6-7 chairs, and the room can be configured with or without the stage.
The modular staging can be arranged in a few shapes, but a 6' by 15' rectangle is the most common. The columns are approximately 15' apart, so this size allows for a presenter at the podium, armchairs for a fireside chat, or a panel at a table.
