The Parkland College Library endeavors to support the educational mission of the College by providing the highest quality services to all its patrons. As a part of that service, exhibits and displays are an integral part of supporting and publicizing the many and varied information resources available.

The primary goals of exhibits and displays are: 

• To highlight past scholarship and encourage future scholarship.
• To highlight alternative and unique topics for investigation.
• To educate patrons about new methods of research.
• To publicize libraries and library collections.
• To enhance the visual atmosphere of the library.

To achieve these goals Parkland Library has established these policies and procedures: 

• Contact Raeann Dossett, the current Library Display Coordinator, to schedule a display. If requests to display in the Library are received from individuals or organizations not associated with the Library, the Coordinator will consult with the Library Director.
• The Library reserves the right to refuse to host an exhibit for any reason.
• Displays should be put up and taken down on the approved dates.  Contact the Coordinator if you find you are unable to keep these dates.
• All materials must be removed promptly at the close of the exhibit period. The person or organization putting up the display is responsible for ensuring this has been accomplished.
• Displays created by non-Library individuals or organizations must include the name of the responsible individual or sponsoring organization and must be clearly visible within the display area.
• The Library cannot assume responsibility for damage or theft of any item exhibited. All items placed in the Library are done so at the owner's risk.

Responsibilities of the Display Coordinator:

• Maintain the display schedule.
• Act as liaison between the Library and non-Library individuals or organizations.
• Contact displayers with a reminder the week before their scheduled time.
