Room Rentals
When meeting rooms are not required for Library programs or activities they may be rented by individuals, groups and organizations.
Room rentals are ideal for meetings, lectures, or even for birthday parties. Room sizes and features vary from location to location. Rental fees are based on room capacity and amenities. We also offer a reduced rate for non-profit organizations of 30% off.
You can book a space by contacting the branch directly. Our staff can confirm the availability and accept your room rental application.

General Liability Insurance
Anyone renting space at the Library is required to carry General Liability Insurance. This coverage is for the protection of the facility renter, Markham, Markham Public Library and all those participating in the use of the facility during the rental.
You will be required to produce a liability insurance certificate in the amount of $2,000,000 per occurrence, including full participant coverage and naming Markham and Markham Public Library as additional insured.
If you cannot produce the required certificate, you may purchase the required insurance at a nominal cost through a third party provider as arranged by the City of Markham.
