Parking:
Due to limited onsite parking at the Central Library, guests are encouraged to carpool or use alternate modes of transportation. The garage entrance is located on West Avenue. Please take the NORTH elevator (closest to 2nd Street) from either P1 or P2 to Level 2 and exit to the sidewalk. Turn right to enter the Library doors. The Demonstration Area is under the staircase, directly across from the Circulation Desk. In case the Central Library´s parking garage is full, the nearest public parking is available at City Hall. Parking will not be validated.
This is a press announcement, not a typical networking event. We’d love to have your support!
