Dulany Memorial Library

Basement Rental

About the Rental Space:
Dulany Library has basement space which can be rented out for events. There is a small kitchen (refrigerator, stove/oven, sink), bathrooms, and chairs and tables are made available. It is handicap accessible with a wheelchair ramp.

Cost:
The cost is $50, plus a $20 deposit required at the time the key is picked up. The $20 deposit will be returned to the renter when the key is returned, provided everything is in order and clean after the event. There will be an additional $20 charge for any returned checks.

Please see the calendar below for days/times the basement is currently booked. If a day is blocked off as "busy", then it is already spoken for on that day. You may call us during business hours to schedule a rental or with any additional questions.

Meeting/Community Room Policy:
Any group or individual who wishes to rent out library space for an event that will be advertised or promoted to the public must include an age recommendation on any advertisement or promotional materials, including but not limited to signage, flyers, and social media. Failure to comply may result in the group or individual being denied the rental, or in future rentals being denied.

Table Rental Policy
Tables may be rented out, separate from the library basement space. However, policies must be followed:

  • Renter must pay a $5 rental fee per table.
  • Renter must pay a $20 deposit fee per table, which will be returned when tables are returned on time and undamaged. If tables are returned after due date, the deposit will not be returned.
  • Renters with “check out” the tables, as they would with any other equipment item. They must return tables within 3 business days, unless other arrangements have been made with library staff.
  • Tables must be returned clean and in the condition in which they were rented.
  • Renters must pick up and drop off tables during the library’s normal business hours.
  • Renters are responsible for transportation of the tables to and from their event.
  • Renters are responsible for having their own helpers for loading and unloading tables.

Renters may not rent tables if the rental time or return time would conflict with a basement space rental.
