02 Dec '16

Hi all, For those of you who feature local artists, how do you make it work? Do you have a regular display? Also, do you request that the artists sign a waiver protecting the library if any artwork should be damaged or stolen? Thank you in advance. -- B. Kristen Valyi-Hax Director Harper Woods Public Library 19601 Harper Ave. Harper Woods, MI 48225 313-343-2575 313-343-2127 (fax)
