- If alcohol is approved, renters are responsible for adhering to state liquor laws as set forth in the State Code and by the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control including obtaining permits as necessary. (https://abc.utah.gov/)

Please communicate to library staff prior to your event if you need parking permits for your event. As a courtesy, the Library may issue a limited number of parking passes for room rental events that are longer than three hours. It is the responsibility of the person who made the reservation to communicate that parking is limited and issue the number of permits provided to attendees. Note that parking permits do not guarantee that space is available.
Technology
- No, we do not have library staff available to set up or run technology for your event. We want your events to run smoothly and self-sufficiently so we are happy to offer tech trainings for you in any room, prior to your event.
- If you would like to use our technology please schedule this at least a week before your event. Please email Jodie.Peatross@ParkCity.org to schedule. (Note: A tech training is required for use of Santy and highly recommended in the Community Room.)
- Yes! With technology training, it is easy to do! A training is required or a projectionist can be hired.
- It is our goal to have events be self-sufficient and run smoothly as staff are not always available for assistance.
- A tech training allows you to use the auditorium’s in-house tech cage. The tech cage allows you to run the technology in the Santy without having to rent out the projection booth. The Tech cage allows you to use microphones, play a DVD or Blu-ray, and connect a laptop to the system using either a VGA or HDMI cord.
- If you are interested in the projection booth, please reach out to the Library to discuss the fee range and other needs. An approved projectionist is required.
- Projectionists have their own fees and renters must pay the projectionist directly. Please email Jodie.Peatross@parkcity.org for a list of approved projectionists.
- Renters can also hire a projectionist to run the in-house tech cage and not rent the projection booth.
Entry Hall and Patio Rentals
- These areas are available to rent only before and after the coffee shop and library’s operational hours. All other times we prioritize this space for the community to enjoy.
- If you are interested in this space during the day, we suggest renters consider using the Community Room.
Please email Jodie.Peatross@ParkCity.org as we suggest setting up a time to talk over the space or schedule a walkthrough.
The entry hall is what is considered the coffee shop area without access to the coffee shop’s counter and work areas. The patio is the cement patio directly outside of the coffee shop and does not include any grass areas.
