Policy for Displays/Exhibits and Bulletin Boards

Use of Thayer Public Library areas for displays, exhibits or posting of notices is primarily for library and library sponsored program use.

The Library also welcomes exhibits and displays of interest, information and enlightenment to the community.

Exhibits in the library will be viewed by individuals of all ages. The materials of the exhibits must therefore visually meet “a standard acceptable to the community.”

The display or distribution of material does not constitute endorsement of the content by the Thayer Public Library.

The Library reserves the right to review requests for display, exhibit and bulletin board space. Use of Library display/ exhibit space is granted by the Library Director or the Children’s Librarian and is reserved under a first-come, first-serve policy.

Bulletin board spaces are open to non-profit organizations engaged in fund raising activities, organizations promoting educational activities or opportunities and public interest notices.

The Thayer Public Library does not maintain insurance to cover damage or loss of materials placed on exhibit.

The Library reserves the right to limit the size and length of exhibit displays. Exhibitors may not list the Thayer Public Library as a sponsor or co-sponsor of the exhibit or display unless authorized by the Library Director.
