Exhibits

The Library accepts and considers proposals for temporary exhibits on an ongoing basis. Requests for exhibits are subject to review and approval by the Executive Director or designee. The Library may decline any exhibit requests and any items from an exhibit.

3. As the exhibition space is in a public space and is seen by anyone who enters the Library, the content must meet appropriate community standards and be suitable for all ages.
4. Exhibits are typically booked for one month.
5. The Library is not responsible for damage to or loss of exhibit pieces.
6. The Library will not store, hang, or bring art in or out of the building.
