Request Event in the Library

Note: the Library does not use any Olin scheduling software. You must contact us directly to book the Library space.

1. Make your request as soon as you have a potential date

Requests must include the following information. If any element is unknown, acknowledge it and the Librarians will work with you to figure it out.

  • Desired date
  • Time block AND setup time block (if applicable)
  • Library area (See Event Locations)
  • Basic event description/idea

2. No later than ONE week before the event, send:

  • Outside attendees (school visits, BOW, guest speakers)
  • Furniture needs (moving furniture, additional furniture, etc)
    • You must speak with us if you plan to move bookshelves so that we can ensure safety.
    • Decorations
  • IT needs (microphones, other A/V, etc.)
  • Food/Catering (“catered dinner,” “bags of chips,” etc. We don’t need a full menu!)

If you are struggling with decisions about your event, need guidance on IT/Facilities/Catering or other departments, or would just like some feedback, please reach out. We need to know these details and can help you figure them out. We have a lot of event experience!
