Cameras are allowed at our events, however, if you have not been given permission by the Wilmington Library director to be a part of our media coverage, you must remain seated with your camera. Please do not stand on chairs in an attempt to take photos or record as this can be very dangerous and cause harm to yourself or someone else.

Please do not stand in the aisles, or in the back of the room in an attempt to record or take photos. This will not only obstruct the view of others but also causes a fire hazard and potentially blocks our cameras around the room that will be LIVE streaming this event. Standing in the aisles or around the room also hinders guests (especially those in wheelchairs) from coming in and out of the Commons to find a seat or to use the restroom. Please do not block these areas or entrances and exits.

Everyone must find a seat. Staff members and/or volunteers will help you find a seat if you cannot find one. Please be kind and courteous to one another as well as library staff who work hard to bring you these events.

• First and Last name
• Name of your news media outlet/business
• Links to your website and social media
• Your portfolio and resume with your credentials
• ALL REQUESTS TO COVER OUR EVENTS ARE PRO BONO.

Once we have received all of the required information, we will review your credentials and reach out to you only if you are approved. Please note that approval does not guarantee access to every event. For each event, a new request must be made, and approval must be granted each time.

AS OF 9.20.24:

In response to the overwhelming feedback we’ve received from the public, we are excited to announce that all our events will now require registration through Eventbrite. This change is designed to enhance your experience by reducing wait times, eliminating long lines, and ensuring that everyone who registers has a guaranteed general admission seat. This will also help us manage attendance more effectively and prevent the disappointment of turning anyone away.
