Virtual Meeting Room Service

Our new Virtual Meeting Room service connects Wauconda Area Library non-profit groups who want to gather and communicate online for civic, cultural, educational and public information meetings. Wauconda Area Library cardholders can now host their own virtual meetings using the Library's premium Zoom account. One virtual meeting space is available from the Library through Zoom, a web-based software that requires a device and an Internet connection to participate.

The Library offers use of its Virtual Meeting Room for up to 2 hours at a time. You must give the Library 7 day notice ahead of your meeting request. Assistance with Zoom may be available prior to or on the date and time of your meeting, but is not a guarantee. We recommend preparing for your meeting using Zoom's help pages in advance. 

Guidelines

  • You must be a Wauconda Area Public Library District cardholder and 18 years or older to reserve the Virtual Meeting Room.
  • Each meeting is limited to 2 hours or less, with 100 participants or less.
  • Meetings can only be held during the Library's COVID-19 business hours.
  • All requests are subject to approval.
