Using Spaces to Reserve a Meeting Room
You may set up a “Spaces” account or login to your already existing account by visiting http://slcl.evanced.info/spaces. If this is your first time, please click on “Create an Account” in the top right-hand corner of the page. Once you’ve logged in, you will be able to manage your account through the “My Account” link in the top right-hand corner of the page. From here, you can edit your contact information, primary library location and request to join an organization (i.e. your group’s name).
You can always manage your reservations by logging into your “Spaces” account. This includes the ability to edit your personal information, check for meeting room availability, request space, edit reservations, cancel reservations, and view reservation history.
If your group or organization already has current reservations on the calendar, it may already be in the system and you can simply select from the list. If not, please type in your group or organization name (i.e. Home Owner Association's name, Girl or Boy Scout Troop AND number, etc) into the request purpose field to ask staff to create a new organization. You may be associated with more than one organization within the system and more than one person can be associated with a single organization.
