Bulletin Board
Policy and Procedures
Tilton Library
strives to provide as much information to the
community as possible. As a means to achieve
this, the Library maintains bulletin boards in
the building for the express purpose of
displaying notices. Bulletin boards in the
Library foyer are provided for non-profit,
educational, cultural and intellectual events
and services. Commercial advertising is limited
to the business card board located beside the
stairway in the foyer. A separate board,
located in the Children’s Library, is maintained
for babysitting services. Municipal notices and
materials are displayed on the Community
Information shelves or at the circulation desk(s).
The Library maintains the right to accept or
deny material.
1.
All items for posting must be delivered to a
Tilton Library staff member.
2.
With the exception of business cards, all items
must have the date of submittal on the front of
the material.
3.
Items will be posted by Tilton Library staff
members.

Old items will be periodically removed from the
bulletin boards.

Exhibit Policy and Procedures
Purpose:
Exhibits in the adult area of the Library
provide a place where local artists, collectors
and crafts people can show their work within the
limits of the space, with an understanding that
the space is used regularly by people of all
ages, including young children. Exhibits should
include, if practical, a selection of library
materials on the same or related subjects.
Tilton Library staff will select and maintain
library materials for accompanying displays.
The Trustees of
Tilton Library have adopted this policy to
address how exhibits may be displayed in the
Library.
The space:
The exhibit area is located within the adult
circulation room at Tilton Library. Exhibits
are confined to the south mantel piece and the
wall above it, and on top of the book cases in
the circulation area. Other space use granted
by permission of the library director.
Who may display
works of art:
Applications for use of the above named space to
display art or collections may be submitted by
individuals, groups, nonprofit organizations and
schools in the Deerfield area. One-person,
group, or theme exhibits will be considered.
Period of display:
Exhibits are scheduled for one month. Works
should remain on display throughout the exhibit
period. If part of the exhibit needs to be
removed before the exhibit period ends, another
piece should replace it so there are no gaps.
Work should go up on the first day of the month
and be taken down on the last day of the month.
If the library is closed on those days, contact
the library to make other arrangements.
Waiver:
The Trustees of Tilton Library and Tilton
Library staff members are not responsible for
the safety, care or loss of any works on
display. Because of the nature of staffing and
layout of the building, there is a small risk in
showing.
Artist/exhibitor
responsibility
Installation and
removal:
The artist/exhibitor is responsible for
installing and removing the show at times when
the library is open. (See Period of
display above.)
Artists/exhibitors
should familiarize themselves with the features
and limitations of the space before submitting
an application. Paintings, prints, drawings and
photographs must be suitably framed and wired.
No nails, thumbtacks, adhesives and the like may
be used directly on the walls.
Artists/exhibitors causing damage by exhibiting
works of art will repair the damage or reimburse
Tilton Library, as the Trustees of the Library
deem necessary.
List of works
displayed:
The artist/exhibitor must provide a list with
the title, size and media of works to be
exhibited, along with the artist’s name, address
and telephone number to the Library Director.
(Include price of work if applicable.)
Public
information:
It is the artist’s/exhibitor’s responsibility to
publicize the exhibits. Check current library
hours and events when preparing publicity.
Donation:
Tilton Library suggests that exhibiting
artists/collectors make a donation to the
Library of 10% of any sale of works exhibited.
The donation is payable to “Tilton Fund”.
Tilton Library has no involvement in any sale of
works. All sales are private between
artist/collector and buyer.
