Dartmouth Libraries spaces have signage holders and digital screens to share and disseminate information. Managed and approved by the Libraries, these dedicated signage areas are primarily for advertising the Libraries' events, offerings, and information. This policy sets out acceptable signage and its display within Dartmouth Libraries spaces to ensure efficient and effective operation.
Dartmouth Libraries manages and approves the information displayed in signage holders and on digital screens throughout the Libraries' spaces. The Libraries' spaces include buildings, rooms, offices, passageways, staircases, foyers, meeting rooms, adjacent entrances, walls both interior and exterior, and restroom facilities. The policy does not relate to the use of gallery spaces or display cabinets. The Libraries' signage holders and digital screens are primarily used to disseminate information on the Libraries' events and offerings. In addition, key partners and organizations may request to use these signage holders and digital screens. These requests will be assessed according to the guidelines of this policy. Dartmouth Libraries retains the authority to reject any signage request, remove unapproved signage, or remove any posted signage with content assessed as inappropriate.
It is the policy of the Libraries that:
Items will be assessed by Libraries staff responsible for maintaining signage across Dartmouth Libraries. Items that are unclear and require further consideration will be referred to the Libraries Communications Manager or an Associate Dean of Libraries, with the final decision made by the Dean of Libraries.
Dartmouth Libraries will not be held responsible for any loss or damage caused whilst signs or notices are on display across its premises.
With concerns about whether a sign falls outside this policy, contact the Library Leadership Team.
