The use of exhibit space in the Marian Sutherland Kirby Library is based on these criteria: visual arts, crafts, paintings and collections for educational, cultural, informational, and artistic purpose. Exhibit space is available to individuals and groups on an equitable basis. The library reserves the right to reject an exhibit request.

1. The library does not provide insurance coverage for exhibit items. Exhibitors are responsible for providing coverage for items exhibited or exhibiting at their own risk.
2. For wall-mounted displays, the library will furnish hooks, chains, and a step ladder.
3. Sculptors must provide their own pedestals.
4. Labels for exhibit items are to be furnished by the exhibitor. They must be neat and attractive; labels are to be attached to exhibit items. Prices may not be included on labels. No sale transactions may take place on library premises, but the exhibitor's business card or telephone number and a short biographical sketch may be posted.
5. The exhibitor is responsible for the installation and dismantling of display as
   scheduled. If the staff is forced to dismantle a display because the exhibitor has not removed it on time, the library is not responsible for any damage.
6. Forms of literature displays determined to be unacceptable include:

a. Advertisements of products or services; prices of articles for sale
b. Requests for contributions
c. Petitions and political literature supporting one cause or point of view
d. Carelessly designed or untidy posters or brochures

7. Arrangements for exhibits must be made through the library director at least two
   weeks prior to an exhibit.
8. Publicity for an exhibit is the responsibility of the exhibitor and all publicity for an exhibit must be approved by the library director.
9. Exhibits are limited to a period of (3) three weeks, unless other arrangements have been made with the library director. In order to make exhibit space available to as many community residents as possible, no individual or group should expect to provide an exhibit more than twice a year.
10. The library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints of exhibits or exhibitors
