It is not necessary to have an alcohol license if you are not selling alcohol. For room rentals, selling anything (including alcohol) is not allowed, so no liquor license is needed, but they do have to provide proof of $1 million in insurance for their organization on the date of the event.</div><div><br></div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__"><div><span style="font-size:13pt"><em>Deb Hemmye</em></span> <br>Library Director <br>Huntington Woods Public Library <br>26415 Scotia Road <br>Huntington Woods, MI 48070 <br>248-543-9720, ext. 686 <br><br>Currently listening to<em> Abundance, </em>by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:a99ae797f0affee4a84120b420ce525818e43664@zimbra" data-mce-src="https://webmail.tln.org/home/dhemmye@hwoodslib.org/Briefcase/ABundance.jpg" width="81" height="122" doc="Briefcase/ABundance.jpg"></div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr" data-marker="__DIVIDER__"><div data-marker="__HEADERS__"><b>From: </b>"Michlib" <michlib-l@mcls.org><br><b>To: </b>"Michlib" <michlib-l@mcls.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, September 24, 2025 11:12:55 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Michlib-l] Library Policies for Programs with Alcohol<br></div><div><br><style style="display:none">/*<![CDATA[*/P {

I wanted to gather some information regarding any policies your library may have for using alcohol in your programs. I wanted to organize a presentation with faculty in the Brewing Science department at Schoolcraft College followed by a beer tasting. I'd be
interested in how you may have handled similar programs at your libraries or your policies as a whole about alcohol on site for programs. </div>
