Meeting Room

The Jericho Underhill Library District is a municipality in the State of Vermont.

The Library offers free use of the meeting room for non-commercial purposes. We welcome non-profit, non-commercial groups who wish to use the Deborah Rawson Memorial Library as a place of connection, education, and community involvement. 

The Meeting Room

The Meeting Room at the Deborah Rawson Memorial Library is available free of charge to nonprofit and noncommercial groups and organizations for meetings and activities of an educational, cultural, intellectual and/or charitable nature. No buying, selling, trading of products or services are allowed except in support of the Library.  Programs and meetings conducted at the Library may not be used to promote any private commercial interests or products.

All meetings must be free of charge and open to the public.

Library programs take precedence over all other scheduled meeting room events.  The Library reserves the right to change or to cancel meeting room reservations when necessary.

The Library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints of meetings or program room users.

Series of Meetings: Applications for a series of meetings in the next calendar year will be taken after September 1st of the current year.  (Application for a single meeting will not be taken more that 12 (twelve) months in advance of the meeting date.)  In the interest of serving as many groups as possible, use of the Meeting Room by any one group is limited to twice a month.
