Organizations wishing to display materials must be non-partisan, preferably with an open membership. Government, health, welfare, educational, and cultural agencies are given preference over special-interest groups. All uses of the display case must be both of interest and acceptable to the general public and fall within the mission of the library.

Applications can be submitted up to a year in advance, but approval will not be given until 3 months prior to the requested start date.

Reservations can be made for two week periods for either the first or second half of the month.

If two applications have submitted for the same time period, priority will be given to the theme or collection type that has gone the longest without being in the display case. If the theme or collection types are similar, priority will then be given to the applicant who has gone the longest without using the display case.

Applicants are limited to two display reservations per calendar year.

The following exhibit material are not permitted: commercial exhibits; partisan political exhibits; religious exhibits that proselytize; exhibits advocating a position on ballot issues.
