Owl Meeting Room

The Owl Meeting Room at Old Worthington Library is available for use by groups free of charge. Use of meeting rooms for financial gain is prohibited, including the selling of goods and/or services, fundraising and accepting monetary donations. 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.)

The room also includes a podium and whiteboard.

A kitchenette across the hall is equipped with sink, refrigerator with ice maker, microwave and large coffee pot.

Groups reserving the room are responsible for setting up chairs and tables and returning the room to its original condition, with trash properly disposed of and tabletops cleaned.

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.

Groups who wish to use the audiovisual system will need to stop by the accounts desk to check out an audiovisual kit with all the necessary accessories needed, 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.
