BETHEL PUBLIC LIBRARY
EXHIBITS AND DISPLAYS POLICY

It is part of the Bethel Public Library’s function to provide access to intellectual and cultural resources to the community. The display space in the Bethel Public Library shall be used for artistic, cultural, and information purposes in keeping with these library goals.

Exhibits of library materials and activities will be given first consideration. Local artists and community organizations are encouraged to offer exhibits of artistic, cultural or informational merit. Persons and groups outside of Bethel are invited to exhibit, when their work would be of general interest to the Bethel community.

The Library is not responsible and will not be held liable for any items owned by the exhibitor while they are being displayed at the Library.
