Displays
The lobby and the atrium in the library can be used for tabling, events, and displays. Depending on your needs there are a variety of requirements to coordinate this.
Atrium Display
Middlebury College groups and offices are encouraged to present displays to coincide with classroom projects and/or current events on campus or in the world at large. Students may also present displays related to their academic work.
The Library Atrium display space is now booked by Events Management on 25Live. Please contact them at least two weeks in advance to book the space. If you would like to include library materials in your display, please contact Library Circulation. There are a variety of supplies available to use within the space.
Vestibule
Upon entering the first set of doors to Davis Library there is a small vestibule. This space can be booked by Events Management on 25Live and is frequently used by groups to “table” in order to share or solicit information from people entering and exiting the building.
A-Frame Display
The library staff coordinate monthly book displays on A-Frame Displays in the library. They are often themed around campus and current events and highlight items from the physical collection. If you are interested in working with library staff to create a book display, contact Laksamee Cave at lcave@middlebury.edu
Upper Level Exhibit Cases
The Upper Level Exhibit Cases are available for longer displays—as long as a semester. These include four locked display cases with two middle sections of open shelves on the upper level. Contact Circulation Services to learn more at library_circulation@middlebury.edu.
Locked Glass Cases
The locked glass cases in the Library Atrium on the Main Level are used exclusively by Special Collections and Archives to exhibit their collections. Email Special Collections with questions or ideas for collaboration at specialcollections@middlebury.edu.
