The S. E. Wimberly Library defines exhibits as thematic displays of materials including but not limited to books, posters, documents, art work, objects and other artifacts, that are accompanied by written commentary or labels. The Library exhibit area is in the inner lobby of the main floor. Occasional exhibits may be mounted in other areas of the library with the approval of the Library Exhibits Committee.  The Library seeks a diversity of exhibits that reflect the curriculum and collections of the University.

• While the Exhibits Committee will make every effort to honor scheduling commitments, the Library reserves the right to postpone, reschedule or curtail an exhibit.
  
  
• The concept of freedom of speech, as described in the American Library Association Bill of Rights and the Florida Atlantic University Student Handbook on Disruptive Conduct (6C5-7.007 p. 163) is an important right which is supported by the Library.
  
  
• Contemporary audiences may find material in an exhibit to be offensive to some groups or individuals. The exhibit of any given materials does not constitute endorsement by Florida Atlantic University or Florida Atlantic University Library.  An objective of the Exhibits Committee is to assist social memory and provide a comprehensive window on the changing human experience.
  
  
• Priority is given to exhibits prepared by the S. E. Wimberly Library, University organizations and members of the University community. The Library may elect to use exhibit materials prepared by other organizations not affiliated with the University.
  
  
• In support of the mission of S.E. Wimberly Library, the University Library welcomes non-commercial exhibits of artistic and educational material that include a library component which inform the University community about the resources, collections, and services of the University Library. Exhibits should have a clearly defined educational purpose and content.
  
  
• The Library Exhibits Committee is responsible for scheduling exhibits and coordinating their subsequent preparation and presentation. The Committee also consults with the other library units and selects or assists in the selection of appropriate library materials for inclusion in the exhibits.
  
  
• Exhibitors are responsible for providing high-quality, exhibit-ready content. Content should be accurate, based on authoritative sources, and documented with bibliographic citations. Written materials should provide context and background appropriate for a general audience and create a cohesive narrative for the exhibit.
  
  
• The Library cannot provide security for exhibits.  The Library accepts no responsibility for damage to the exhibits while in the Library or while being shipped to or from the Library.  Exhibit materials must be removed by the end date of the show. The Library does not assume liability for exhibit materials after this time. The exhibitor must complete an Exhibit Release Form before the display is installed.
  
  
• The Exhibit Committee retains right of refusal and is not obligated to accept every exhibit offered for display. Furthermore, an exhibit may be cancelled at any stage if the exhibitors have not met the agreed upon conditions and deadlines.  The Committee reserves the right to cancel an exhibit if it not exhibit-ready.
