Feature exhibits are mounted in the Anne Louise Davis Gallery on the lower level. Other exhibits are displayed in the Plainfield Room, the Main Lobby, and in display cases throughout the Library. All areas of the Library are accessible to the handicapped.

Upcoming and current arts exhibitions are noted on the Library's Calendar, along with
additional Library-related events.

Online Exhibits

Online exhibits allow the Library to showcase its local history resources through thematic presentations. Some have been developed specifically for the website, while others document short-term physical exhibits and make them available to future generations. Viewers can appreciate the creativity and scholarship invested in the original exhibit while learning about the range and depth of the Library's local history collections.
