Keep an eye out next time you're in the library for our changing displays, exhibitions and noticeboards.
We have a Library Display Facilities policy PDF, 45.38 KB that explains how we choose and manage displays in our libraries.
Most of our libraries have display cabinets that are regularly updated with new items. Collectables, crafts, art, historical materials and pop culture items are just some of the fascinating displays you'll find in our display cabinets.
We also often host displays about current issues or events.

From time to time our libraries host temporary exhibitions of artworks, community information and historical material.
Wollongong Library's has a revolving art display on Level 1, often with a range of historical images on display. We also have freestanding display boards that can be used for exhibitions.
Each of our libraries has a community noticeboard where you can find out about local activities and services.
We include notices about library and Council activities on these boards. Local community and non-profit groups are also welcome to provide items to be added to our noticeboards.
Please see library staff if you'd like something posted on our noticeboards. You can also read our Library Display Facilities policy PDF, 45.38 KB for details about what types of notices are accepted.
