Taborspace - 5441 SE Belmont St, Portland, OR 97215. The venue space is accessible for many different mobility needs, and we will update this space soon with more specific details.

We will have three rooms - one large space for when we need to gather all at once, one small space for using during breakout discussions or quiet space, and one small space that we are reserving for childcare. If no childcare is needed, we will use that second small space for breakout discussions or quiet space.

===== Accommodations =====  
−
Local recommendations TBD
+
Our venue is in Center City Philadelphia (in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood) and nearby hotels can be pricey. The closest and least expensive hotel that we have seen so far is Motto by Hilton (31 S 19th Street, 5 minute walk to the venue, around $240/night). Airbnbs in the neighborhood are more affordable at $100-$200/night. Neighborhoods further afield may have less expensive accommodations, and the venue is closest to the 22nd Street Trolley Station (serving trolley routes 10, 11, 13, 34, and 36).
  
−
We will also be asking local attendees if they can host participants coming in from out of town; we have asked attendees to indicate on their RSVP form if they will need accommodation. Please reach out with any accommodation questions or needs.

===== Transit and parking =====
−
Local information TBD
+
Public transit: The 22nd and Market Trolley Station provides access to the 10, 11, 13, 34 and 36 trolleys, all of which connect to the two subway lines (the MFL or "el" and the BSL). The trolleys are not wheelchair accessible. There are numerous buses that are wheelchair accessible and also connect to the subway lines and other bus routes.
  
−
===== Covid protocols =====
+
Parking: There are numerous parking lots and garages near the venue. The venue recommends Patriot Parking at 21st and Sansom (it's a garage) which has Saturday rates at 12 hours for $17. Street parking will be harder to find in the area and probably has a two hour limit.  
−
We are requiring negative tests from all participants upon arrival, and will have some extra tests available. We will open windows in the venue, weather permitting. We will not be requiring masks, but will have masks available. At our most recent meeting in April 2023, about 25% of attendees wore masks, though some opted to take them off because of how hard it was to hear conversation, even when using a microphone. Also at our previous meeting, we built a Corsi-Rosenthal box for additional air filtration, and we will be asking locals to help assemble one for this meeting. Our meeting space does not make much physical distancing possible. If you are not comfortable in this type of space, we'd love to welcome you to one of our many virtual trainings - contact info@libraryfreedom.org for more information.

===== Agenda draft =====  
−
Most of the time together will be fairly open-ended with ample time for discussion. We may do a couple of lecture-style presentations on Friday evening, and we may also do an agenda setting activity where we prompt people to share what they want to discuss. The basic framework of the agenda will come together soon and we'll share with all RSVPs; in the meantime, you can take a look at the agenda from our previous meeting in Philly: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/Main_Page/Regional_hubs/Mid_Atlantic/Philly
