[Publib] re: training lab

[Sara Weissman]

>> would like to hear what other libraries are doing and if they are allowing  businesses to use the room for training employees.  Also, do you allow  organizations (i.e. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc.) to utilize the room? 

No and no.
Our 21-seat lab, with ClassNet, overhead projection, etc. is used for:
public classes http://www.mclib.info/class.html
(internal) staff training, rarely
portion of our building tours for school/youth groups
http://www.mclib.info/tour.html
municipal health educators, under auspices of the county office
regional library consortium training classes
http://www.hrlc.org/ce/classes.htm

Scheduling the room for community groups, having to check equipment when they were done, etc. would be a demand on staffing time we can't support right now.
