ALA Traveling Exhibitions National Exhibition SourcesRegional and State SourcesExhibition Database
In communities of all sizes, traveling exhibitions are special events that help identify libraries as important cultural centers. Libraries hosting traveling exhibitions present many related public programs, including lectures by scholars, panel discussions, book and film discussion series, school and college class tours and curriculum activities, essay contests, and concerts.
The ALA Public Programs Office and a number of nonprofit, commercial and library sources coordinate traveling exhibitions for libraries across the country. Some exhibitions, including those coordinated by the ALA, are offered to libraries free of charge through grant funding. Others are available for low or moderate fees and require limited security. This site lists a number of these sources. Requirements and fees vary. Libraries should make sure that they can meet security and space requirements and that all fees are clear before booking or applying for any exhibition. Additionally, many resources from past exhibitions are available via this site and can be used for future library programming on the topics discussed in the exhibitions.
