Library launches online room reservation tool for community groups and elections use

St. Johns County Public Library System · August 19, 2026

Summary

St. Johns County Library System has implemented an online reservation platform that lists room sizes, hours and insurance requirements and routes requests to branch staff for processing, the director said.

Deborah Gibson said the library implemented an online reservation platform this year to simplify room bookings for community organizations, HOAs and individuals. "This year we implemented an online reservation platform," she said, adding the system shows availability, required insurance certificates, hours and room capacity and sends requests to the branch for batch processing.

Gibson said the tool reduces staff time spent on scheduling and clarifies requirements for users, and she noted the supervisor of elections has used library meeting rooms under the same reservation process. The platform is accessible from the library website and lists what is available in each room.

Why it matters: easier online booking may increase use of library meeting spaces for civic functions and community groups while giving branch staff a single queue for handling requests.
