The Santa Clara County Library District encourages exhibits for the cultural interest, information, and enlightenment of the community. As with our library collections, exhibits may represent particular viewpoints. Exhibits will not be excluded because of the race or nationality or the social, political, or religious views of the exhibitors.
The exhibit policy agrees with the concepts of the Library Bill of Rights as adopted by the Santa Clara County Library District Joint Powers Authority on October 26, 1995.
Information for Exhibitors
Bookings
Exhibits are normally scheduled for a one-month period of time. In some libraries, exhibit spaces may be handled by a separate body. Bookings may be made up to one year in advance. The Library reserves the right to reschedule exhibits. If there are numerous requests for exhibit space, new exhibitors will take precedence.
Loss or Damage
Santa Clara County Library District assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever, regardless of cause, for loss or damage to exhibitor property and supplies during installation, public display, or the removal of the exhibition.
Sales
The Library does not participate in commercial sales. The Library will make the Exhibit Agreement listing items and exhibitor's phone number available to all interested persons.
