Areas available to the public for displays and exhibits are the glass exhibit case, the meeting room, and the general bulletin board. A release must be signed by the exhibitor before any artifact can be placed in the library.

The library reserves the right to limit the size, number of items, schedules of any display, and the frequency with which the artist or organization may have a display.

Requests for display will be considered in the order in which they are received.
