Owl Meeting Room

The Owl Meeting Room at Old Worthington Library is available for use by non-profit organizations in the community. The Board of Trustees sets policy for the use of the rooms.

The meeting room is 25' x 40'. Due to parking limitations, public reservations may not exceed 35 attendees. (If you require accommodation for more than 35 people, please use the Trillium Meeting Room at Northwest Library or the Olentangy Meeting Room at Worthington Park Library.)

Furniture and amenities

Six 6' x 3' foot tables and five 6' x 18" tables are available to be set up in a variety of configurations.

A podium and easel may also be available for use upon request.

A kitchen across the hall is also available to groups upon request. It is equipped with sink, refrigerator with ice maker, microwave and large coffee pot.

Technology

The Owl Meeting Room is equipped with an audiovisual system, offering a projector and a sound system, including an FM system so those who are hard-of-hearing or with auditory processing disorders can listen at their own volume and/or tune out background noise.

Audiovisual equipment is available for use upon request. To use the system, you will need to stop by the accounts desk to check out an audiovisual kit with all the necessary accessories you will need, including remote controls and a wireless microphone, as well as additional items depending on whether you choose to bring your own device or use library equipment.

Use library equipment

The audiovisual kit includes a wireless keyboard and mouse you can use to connect to a library computer, which offers internet access, Microsoft Office programs and a camera and microphone for video conferencing. You can access content or files posted online, or you can load files from your USB drive after inserting it into the wall port. Detailed instructions for using library equipment are included in the audiovisual kit.

Bring your own device

The audiovisual kit includes an HDMI cable and USB-C, VGA, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort adapters for you to connect your laptop to the library’s audiovisual system via the wall port. Please note that if your laptop is not compatible with one of these options, you will need to supply your own adapter to connect to the system.

Detailed instructions for connecting your device to the library’s system are included in the audiovisual kit.

A meeting room reservation form must be completed and approved before use can be scheduled. Note: Verification of non-profit status may be required.
