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.

Currently on Display

Youth Art Month is an annual exhibit and collaboration between the School District of Waupaca, the Waupaca Area Public Library, and Waupaca Public Library Foundation, to show off the best artwork from Kindergarten-12th Grade students.

Adventure Begins at Your Library is the theme for our Summer Learning Program, and we want to see YOUR adventure!

Submit your photo(s) to us with a short description of your favorite adventure. We will print and display them in our lower level Exhibit Room. (Participants are also welcome to print their own artwork. Physical copies of the entry form are available at the library service desks.) 

You DO NOT need to be a professional photographer, and no adventure is too big or too small, too close or too far from home. We are excited to showcase where our community members have traveled, and places that fill their hearts.

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in a Youth and Adult division.
