Charity,

Can you design the exhibits so that panels of text can be changed out - 
maybe with velcro or magnets? The exhibit itself remains basically the 
same just the text panels change. How about really being creative and 
designing the exhibit so they need no text - novel concept which I am 
certainly in favor of. Then your problem is solved!
