The Chalmer Davee Library provides a venue for individuals who are interested in advertising a special event, or putting up informational or artistic displays. Library exhibit spaces are high profile, well-traveled areas and are open to the university community, local artists and members of the general public.

The Chalmer Davee Library adheres to the American Library Association's policy on exhibit spaces which states: The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums of information and ideas. Libraries should make exhibit spaces available to the public they serve and should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affirmations of individuals or groups requesting their use. -Adopted January 23, 1980 - ALA Council.

If you are interested in putting up a display, send an email to the Exhibits Committee or call the committee chairperson at 715/425-3874 to make the necessary arrangements. Exhibits must be scheduled in advance.

All Guidelines for Exhibitors must be followed:

Exhibitors must set up and remove their own displays on the dates reserved. If the library staff must remove a display, it will not be responsible for any damage to items.

If the exhibitor would like insurance coverage, please contact the Exhibits Committee for paperwork. Forms need to be completed and returned prior to the time the exhibit is set up. No insurance coverage is provided after the display date has passed.

One exhibitor should be designated as the contact person for the display and will be responsible for the show.

University-affiliated groups have precedence over any non-University group or individual displays.

Exhibits must be set up during regular library hours. Receptions may be held in the library lobby during regular library hours. Contact the Exhibits Committee chairperson for more information about receptions.

The Committee does not provide supplies except for those included in the supplies list.)

Adhesives or nails may not be applied to any of the walls. Exhibitors must return library-owned items in their original condition or be responsible for the cost of repair/replacement.

The Exhibits Committee reserves the right to accept or refuse a display.
