Honeoye Public Library
Meeting Room Policy
As an expression of its mission to connect people with information, ideas and experiences, the Honeoye Public Library provides a meeting room to be used by members of the community for the presentation and exchange of information and opinions. The Library makes this room available on equal terms to all persons and groups, regardless of opinion or affiliation. By making a meeting room available as a forum, the Library does not sponsor or endorse the views of any group using the room. Our room is available for profit, private and non-profit groups and organizations.
