In
addition to extensive holdings of textual materials,
Frazar Memorial Library also holds many works of visual
art. The Library displays a rotating selection of these
works throughout the Library building. The Library
hosts temporary exhibits featuring materials from both
the Library collections and private collections. The
Library's Exhibits Committee manages the policies and
procedures regarding exhibits. Part of the
Committee's policy states:
The
McNeese Library’s exhibit facilities support the
Library’s goals of providing access to diverse
resources, providing services, and collaborating with
the community. Exhibits reflect the scholarly,
historical, social, and cultural concerns of McNeese
State University. The purpose of exhibits is to promote
interest in and use of the collections and services of
the Library and to recognize and celebrate the
University’s contribution to the larger community. The
Library’s Exhibit Program is one of the most effective
ways to engage the interest of the campus and community
and to publicize services, programs, and collections.
