The Libraries welcome the opportunity to share information that support the academic and social lives of the Waterloo community.
Print posters
Community poster boards are located on the main floors of both Dana Porter and Davis Centre Libraries. To maintain a respectful, inclusive and community-focused environment, all posters submitted to the Libraries for display must follow the guidelines below.
To submit a poster, it must be dropped at the Library Help Desk of your preferred location to be approved by library staff. Once approved, the poster will be stamped, dated and library staff will put it on the appropriate board. Only one copy can be accepted per location. Approval and posting can take up to three business days.
Any poster put up without Libraries approval will be removed. The Libraries reserve the right to refuse the display of any poster, including but not limited to those that do not comply with these guidelines.
