A Request to Display Materials must be submitted by the group or individual wishing to display. Samples of work may also be required before the request is approved. No display is confirmed without the approval of the Director.
Controversial work will not be excluded because of subject matter, however a community standard may be applied because of the diverse age range of the community served by the library.
