Tips for Completing the Online Form

Contact Information This information will be displayed for the public’s use and will appear on the DCLS website exactly as it is entered. If you wish the public to contact the Library for information on the event/meeting you must enter your library’s information.

Event Information The Event Name box is used to identify your meeting/event. The Event Detail box is used for: brief description of event, speaker information and registration details (e.g. registration limit 25, registration dates Aug 5 – Oct 19.). All information entered in this section will be used to create the titles and descriptions that appear on promotional materials. If no information is entered the meeting/event cannot be promoted.

Meeting Room Date(s) You may place meeting room request(s) at any time in 
the current calendar year. Requests for the following year cannot be placed until November 1. There is no limit on the number of dates you can request.

Listing Options are a great way to let The Library know how and if you would like your event publicized. When you check the “Promotional” box on the Room Reservation/Promotion Request form your event or meeting will be eligible to have a News Release written and sent to local media by Community Relations and also makes the event eligible for listing in Connect (The Library’s printed newsletter), on The Library website calendar listing, on the The Library facebook page and possibly in Information Place (the donor newsletter).
