Exhibits/Display Policy

stripe
It is part of the Library’s function to provide access to intellectual and cultural resources of the community. Exhibits will direct attention to the Library’s materials and services, or provide exposure to local artisans and artists, organizations, and items/activities of local interest.

Because exhibits are seen by anyone who enters the Library, they must of of a content which is in keeping with community standards. The Library reserves the right to reject any part of an exhibit or display or to change the manner of the display.

All publicity material shall be submitted for approval by the Director.

Advertisements of a purely commercial nature will not be displayed or distributed.

Displays/advertisements of a proselytizing nature will not be accepted. Displays/advertisements of organizations or individuals which are of an extreme or potentially offensive nature will be rejected. Non-Library advertisements will not be permitted on the exterior of the Library building or on Library property. Acknowledgments of exhibitors may be made.

Prices may be posted in the case of displays of local artists and artisans. Transactions for the purchase of exhibit items will be between the exhibitor and the purchaser.

The Library will receive no fees or commissions in connection with any exhibit or display. No exhibit material which is sold during the exhibit may be removed without the approval of the Director before the scheduled end of the exhibit. Exhibitors must furnish the Library with a list of the value of each item for insurance purposes.

PROCEDURE FOR DISPLAYS AND EXHIBITS

The staff member who is arranging the exhibit should have the exhibitor complete a DISPLAY/ EXHIBIT LIST. If the value of the exhibit is $25,000 or less, or if there are not items with an individual value of more than $5,000, it is not necessary to have the exhibitor sign the Waiver. If the value of the exhibit is more than $25,000, or if any single item has a value of $5,000 or more, the exhibitor must sign the Waiver.

Sign the DISPLAY/EXHIBIT list, staple it to the Waiver (if present), and return the forms to the Library Director, for filing in the office.

Due to demand, an artist may be limited to one exhibit every three years.

A cart and toolbox with some supplies may be requested from the staff member who arranges your exhibit if you so desire.
