Wellington City Libraries encourages local cultural and artistic groups to mount promotional displays in the central and branch libraries within established guidelines. Examples include tramping clubs, country and ethnic groups, health groups, the International Festival of the Arts, and the Wellington Film Festival.
Each library attempts to provide a broad spectrum of displays each year, and to present a balanced view of each subject covered. Displays are booked for a period of two weeks. The onus is on the group concerned to approach the library, and once the booking is accepted a representative of the group must sign an ‘application for display space’ form which sets out the terms of engagement.
By working with these groups, Wellington City Libraries seeks to promote good relations with community groups in accordance with the aims of Wellington City Council, to provide a showcase for the many sporting, cultural, and ethnic groups within Wellington, and also to illustrate the material which the libraries hold relevant to that subject.
