Waldo Library Outreach and Information Table Guidelines
Western Michigan University departments, colleges, or units may request space in Waldo Library for tabling and outreach.
Students, RSOs and external groups or vendors may not request tables at this time. External groups may be allowed to table if they are partnering with a 51¸£ÀûÉç department, which will serve as the primary contact.
Requests are evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis if they comply with the guidelines and space is available. Requests may be denied for security concerns or facilities limitations. Requests will not be considered on days when Waldo Library is closed.
The Libraries will provide one 8-foot table, two chairs, and one easel (upon request). All other equipment must be provided by the organizer.
All requests must comply with the following guidelines:
- Submit requests at least one week in advance. Approved requests will be confirmed by email.
- Only 51¸£ÀûÉç departments, colleges or units may request tabling space for their use.
- Amplified sound (music, microphones, etc.) is prohibited while tabling.
- Activities must be confined to the designated tabling area. Solicitation in other areas of the building is prohibited.
