Display and Bulletin Board Policy
About Displays
The Library has a display case inside the main library to provide a space for self-expression, local organization highlights, and for visitors to view and enjoy. The case is equipped with lockable glass doors, and flexible shelving that may be arranged for different types of displays.
The Library has a community bulletin board outside the front entry to provide a space for community events to be viewed by visitors. The bulletin board is enclosed and locked.
The Library may also display patron art throughout the library space.
The display case is available for public and library use. Displays using this space should meet one or more of these purposes:
- To display high quality original art by artists from Solon and local areas
- To highlight a theme, program, or services provided at the Library
- To build inclusion, diversity, equity, and access into our community
