Important exhibit display information

• Because of varied delivery and pick-up dates, please be sure that your additional exhibit insurance coverage starts 10 days before the start of your display period and extends to 10 days after the last day of your display period.
• On the itinerary, a date is designated as the last day the shipper can deliver the exhibit (“Shipper delivers no later than”). The exhibit may be delivered before that day, but please do not plan programs on that day.
• You will most likely need extra help with the shipping crates, especially if your library does not have a loading dock or a delivery area large enough for a semi-truck to unload. The exhibition will require 3-4 people 8-12 hours to set up. No special tools are needed for installation beyond a step ladder.
• You may schedule the exhibit opening whenever it suits your local schedule.
• You may close the exhibition when you wish, but it must be closed by the date designated “Display period ends.”
• Because there is limited time available to get the exhibition from one site to another, host sites should have the exhibition dismantled, packed, and ready for pick-up on the date designated “Shipper picks up on or after.” This does not mean the shipper will always pick up the exhibit on that date, but the exhibit should be ready to go on that date.

Shipping will ideally proceed as follows:

Sterling Corporation will contact host sites to arrange convenient delivery and pick-up times. Delivery and pick-up must occur during business hours (9-5 your time, Monday through Friday). If you have not heard from Sterling by at least 48 hours before the exhibit should be delivered, please call Cindy Callahan at Sterling at the following number between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST Monday through Friday to confirm delivery arrangements: 978.322.2692. If you need assistance, call or e-mail the 91´«Ã½ Public Programs Office (see below).

Programming Allowance Request Instructions

Libraries selected to host the World on the Move exhibition will receive an allowance of $500 from 91´«Ã½ to cover programming expenses. Please follow the guidelines and instructions outlined in the General Information section to ensure that the library complies with all required terms. The allowance may not exceed $500. The 91´«Ã½ will send a check to library hosts at the start of each calendar year that you’ll be hosting.

Exhibition and Program Evaluation

91´«Ã½ PPO and the AAA want to study how World on the Move advances the exhibition’s goals of increasing library patrons’ understanding of human migration, building capacity at public libraries, and advancing understanding of how to reach diverse library populations. The evaluation goal is to collect data to understand the exhibition experience and learning outcomes throughout the grant period and provide feedback to help 91´«Ã½, the AAA, and host libraries advance their goals. We greatly appreciate your commitment to this work.

Here’s what you can expect as a host library:

At the virtual orientation workshop (February 10, 2023 at 2:00-3:30 PM CST): Project staff will walk through the reporting requirements, and preview the final report and data that libraries will be asked to collect.

During the exhibition: We ask that you engage attendees in at least three public programs and people visiting the exhibit.

After the exhibition: You will be asked to answer questions about your experience with the World on the Move exhibit in a final report to 91´«Ã½. You will have access to the questions in advance. That way, you will know ahead of time what topics to be thinking about while you host the exhibit. We ask that all staff members who were involved with the exhibition and programs think about and respond to the questions together as a team, if possible. Please also upload photos of the interactive visual activities done by kids and families at your library!
