The Libraries of Foster<\/strong><\/p>\n

Displays and Exhibits Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Foster Public Library and the Tyler Free Library welcome exhibits and displays of interest to
\nthe general community. Displays of handiwork, historical materials, and local information may
\nbe exhibited based on available space in the buildings. All exhibit ideas should be presented to
\nthe library director for consideration. The director will accept or reject materials offered for
\ndisplay based on space and suitability. The library will not sell items for any organization or
\nbusiness without approval of the library board.<\/p>\n

Items to be hung on the bulletin board should be handed in at the circulation desk for staff to
\nhang. Acceptable items include information from local organizations and government,
\neducational institutions, notices of programs and events, and flyers for local small businesses.
\nSpace is limited; therefore, Library postings take precedence over other materials. Library staff
\nmay remove materials after the event has passed or 30 days, whichever comes first.
\nExhibit areas are available for use by individuals or organizations engaged in educational,
\ncultural, intellectual or charitable activities.<\/p>\n

Displaying or exhibiting materials in the Libraries of Foster (LOF) does not indicate endorsement
\nof the content of displayed collections.<\/p>\n

Each display must include a clearly visible sign which states the name of the organization or
\nindividual coordinating the display. This sign must include exhibitor contact information
\n(telephone or email address) to give the public an opportunity to ask questions directly to the
\nexhibitor.<\/p>\n

The library director may reject any exhibit or display that does not meet with the mission of the
\nlibrary. Per the American Library Association code of ethics, we affirm the inherent dignity and
\nrights of every person. We work to recognize and dismantle systemic and individual biases; to
\nconfront inequity and oppression; to enhance diversity and inclusion; and to advance racial and
\nsocial justice in our libraries, communities, profession and associations through awareness,
\nadvocacy, education, collaboration, services, and allocation of resources and spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n

APPLICATION AND WAIVER\/RELEASE FORM. An application form and Liability Release form
\nmust be completed to reserve space in the library. All items are placed in the libraries at the
\nowners\u2019 risk. The library assumes no responsibility for the preservation or protection, and no
\nliability for possible damage or theft of any item displayed. The requesting exhibitor must
\nagree to release the LOF from any liability arising from the display. If the exhibitor desires
\ninsurance, they must arrange for it at their own expense.<\/p>\n
