Tewksbury Public Library Looking For Temporary Exhibits For Lobby

TEWKSBURY, MA — The Tewksbury Public Library is offering the opportunity to create a temporary exhibit in the library's lobby.

The library, located at 300 Chandler St., features two display cases in its lobby. Library officials are regularly looking for month-long exhibits to fill those cases. Currently, officials are hoping to schedule displays for June, July and August.

"The Tewksbury Public Library invites residents, artists and local organizations to submit exhibits of local, cultural, artistic or educational interest for temporary display," the library said in a statement.

Examples of items that could be displayed include: artwork, photography, dolls, coins, model trains, Cub Scout pinewood derby cars, firefighter patches, Pez dispensers or pop-up cards.

The display cases feature non-adjustable shelves that are 12 inches high and 12.5 inches deep. The cases remain locked at all times.

The group or person using the display cases is responsible for installing and removing the exhibit at the assigned times, according to the library.

People interested in creating a display can contact Librarian Robert Hayes at 978-640-4490, ext. 205 or rhayes@tewksburypl.org, or they can fill out a Display Case Request Form online.
