Responsibility for displays initiated by the library or cosponsored by the library and other organizations, whether in the library building or on library grounds, is assigned to the library director under the authority of the Library Board. The library reserves the right to refuse any display or exhibit.
DAPL will post public notices and notices of upcoming nonprofit educational, recreational, and civic meetings or events, in designated areas, as space allows. All posters must be approved by the director or their appointee, initialed, and dated before being placed on the community bulletin board. Notices may be removed at the library staff’s discretion.
The following are some examples of items that may be posted:
• Information about community nonprofit organizations and events
• A benefit event or an organization’s fundraiser for an individual experiencing hardship
• Information about special events from organizations engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual, or charitable activities
Items that may not be posted at the Library include, but are not limited to:
• Political signs or campaign literature
• Commercial or business information
• Solicitations
• Personal notices
• Items for sale
The library assumes no responsibility for the preservation or protection of, and no liability for, possible damage or theft of any item displayed or exhibited. All items placed on display or exhibited in the library are there at the owner's risk.
Material Distribution
Any non-library handouts or brochures must also be approved by library management prior to distribution on library grounds. Distribution of printed materials is not allowed except for approved fliers from community nonprofit organizations. Only library-related items will be displayed at the front desk areas, including the library’s front doors.
