Welcome to the Exhibit Room

The Waupaca Library Exhibit room shall be a space to provide cultural, historical, and educational displays free to the general public.

We exhibit 6-8 shows each year showcasing local artistry, industry, memorabilia and education. If you are interested in showing your collection, please read the Exhibit Room Policy to learn more about the use for this space. The Exhibit Room is made possible through generous support from the Waupaca Public Library Foundation.

The Exhibit Room is located in the lower level of the library (off of the Children’s Department) and exhibits are FREE and open to the public during regular library hours.

agriCULTURE: Celebrating Waupaca’s Rich Farming History

This exhibit highlights local farmers, implements, the Waupaca Historical Society’s barn survey project, information on pollinators, a seed exchange, and more! 

Don’t miss out on great programs lined up to compliment this exhibit; the Children’s Department has citizen science programs and Winchester Academy has local farmer Rachel Bouressa presenting on rotational grazing on April 27. Stop in for rotating passive activities and kits!

agriCULTURE will be on display April 4-May 30

Starting a garden and need seeds? Have old seeds that you’d like to donate? Visit our seed exchange in the lower level Exhibit Room-take what you need, leave what you can share.
