Library Exhibit Policy

Library exhibits are coordinated and approved by Library Administration. All exhibits should be consistent with the educational mission of the College, and sponsored by a College of DuPage department, committee, or organization. The Library does not take responsibility for the accuracy or the ideas expressed in exhibits produced by other departments or organizations.

Exhibit Guidelines

  • Exhibits should include a title and a brief statement of intent or purpose.
  • The name of the exhibit's sponsor must be clearly indicated in the display. Contact information for interested exhibit viewers should be displayed.
  • Exhibits should have educational value.
  • Exhibit Scheduling
    • Exhibits in the front display case and lobby are typically scheduled on a monthly basis, beginning the first of the month and running through the end of that month, although exceptions can be made. Exhibits in the display cases located on the Library's upper level are coordinated with the College of DuPage Department of Ceramics.
    • Scheduling priority for other exhibit space is given to exhibits which relate to or promote the Library's collections, services or events. During months that celebrate the history or culture of a particular group, such as Black History Month (February), exhibits related to those events may be given priority for space in the main display case.
