As part of its mission to connect community, inspire curiosity, and cultivate learning, Ramsey County Library curates and co-sponsors educational and cultural exhibits and displays for the public. The Library provides exhibits and displays that reflect community interests, values, and trends and that appeal to the diverse interests and concerns of the community.
The Library may plan and develop exhibits and displays with Ramsey County departments and other local partners. Partners may include school districts, local non-profit art galleries, and other non-profit agencies.
The Library will allow exhibits or displays that:
- Do not disrupt library operations;
- Are consistent with the Library's mission;
- And do not primarily promote commercial interests.
Bulletin boards and free publications near library entrances are not considered exhibits or displays and are covered under the provisions of the Public Bulletin Boards and Free Publications Policy.
Patrons may protest the presence of any exhibit or display or element of an exhibit or display. The Protested Materials Committee will review protests and will make a recommendation to the Library Director. The Director’s decision may be appealed to the Library Board, which will make the final decision regarding the exhibit or display.
