Please note that all requests must be approved by the Exhibits and Displays Committee of Randall Library.


Schedule
Our exhibits calendar is arranged one year in advance. The Exhibits Committee requires
that your request for exhibit space be received 6 months in advance of the approximate
date you hope to install your display.
Installation and dismantling dates must be adhered to.

Exhibit Spaces
The Exhibits Committee is responsible for overseeing three display venues: the glass cases near the front door and the portable display walls.
Your display will be assigned to one of these locations, based on availability. Please work completely within the space provided.
