  State room - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State rooms are usually only found in the houses of the upper echelons of the aristocracy, those who were likely to entertain a head of state.
There was usually an odd number of state rooms for the following reason: At the centre of the facade, the largest and most lavish room, (for example at Wilton House the famed Double Cube Room), or as at Blenheim Palace (left) this was a gathering place for the court of the honoured guest.
Leading symmetrically from the centre room on either side were often one or two suites of smaller, but still very grand state rooms, for the sole use of the occupant of the final room at each end of the facade - the state bedroom.

Today the exhibition comprises three rooms on the ground floor - the former dwelling of the governor of the castle - four rooms of the royal private apartments on the first floor, and the rooms on the second floor, the so-called piano nobile.
Three second-floor rooms have retained their Renaissance friezes painted, among other artists, by Hans Dürer and Antoni of Wrocław, representing a tournament, a military review, and the so-called Tabula Cebetis, or an allegorical picture of the life of man, based on a text written by the ancient philosopher Kebes.

 Public Library Advisory Board Handbook Meeting Rooms - Texas State Library
If meeting rooms in libraries supported by public funds are made available to the general public for non-library sponsored events, the library may not exclude any group based on the subject matter to be discussed or based on the ideas the group advocates.
Libraries may wish to post a permanent notice near the meeting room stating that the library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints of meetings or meeting room users.
For example, a policy that the library's facilities are open "to organizations engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual, or charitable activities" is an inclusive statement of the limited uses to which the facilities may be put.
