Availability of Library Classrooms
When not needed for library instruction sessions or other library-sponsored events, Penfield Library's three classrooms are available for other one-time classes or events. Classrooms are available year round, with some exceptions.
Choosing an Appropriate Space

If You're Planning an Event
