PCPL permits groups engaged in educational and cultural activities to hold such activities in Library meeting rooms.  Examples of permissible groups include cultural, literary and artistic groups; school, service and social welfare groups; clubs and groups concerned with civic or self-improvement; political and religious groups; and governmental agencies.
