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.

Local Farmers – we want your story!
Are you a farmer in Waupaca County? We want to feature you in our next exhibit! We are looking for generational farms, nontraditional farms, new farms – if you grow something, you are adding to our rich agricultural history in Waupaca, and we want you to be part of this installation.
The exhibit will open April 4 and be on display through May 30.
Submit your story here! Contact Exhibit Room Coordinator Liz Kneer (lkneer@waupacalibrary.org) with questions or for additional details!
