I really want them to purchase the photos, but it looks like they won't be able to and will hang them for a year.

I've sold a few portfolios over the years to institutions that wanted to hang them (or not) for extended periods, but I've never been paid a dime to hang work (baring commissions) that I was getting back at the end of it. Hopefully it will generate value in the form of press, print sales, etc.

I don't know anyone who charges for a library display. It's considered a community
favor and might or might not generate the kind of public interest which creates sales.

Who generally is responsible for framing?
Re: Exhibit advice needed
You should work out some type of rental/lease agreement to at least cover your costs. To do it for free is insanity to me.

There is no "generally" IME. I am doing two shows with the city next year, one with ten prints that they are framing (a commission-they are buying the prints) and a larger one with 25 prints that I am framing. I am also in a group show in Santa Fe next year at the new history museum-they are doing the framing.
Re: Exhibit advice needed
I do some pro nono work, and wouldn't even think of charging the garden. One non-profit year out of the life of an archival photograph is negligible. Do make each photograph one that discerning people would be proud to hang in their homes.
