My personal opinion: Your art is definitely gallery material... I'd hang it in a flash. Steer clear of libraries, get them framed professionally and go straight to any gallery that has similarly-themed art. The medium is not an issue.
Good fortune to you!

they are definitely good enough for a gallery. One way to get it into a gallery is if you look for some local juried shows. Usually they do charge an entry fee of $10-$30, and you won't get into every one (I don't think anybody does), so don't get discouraged if it doesn't work the first time.
I would not worry at all if they are in pencil or not. You may not be able to ask as much money for them as for an oil painting(which may concern a commercial gallery), but people definitely want pencil drawing as well. I vaguely knew a guy who made this huge drawings with graphite or charcoal and last I heard was that the Saatchi Gallery was buying some of his works...

Get the book called Artist's and Graphic designers market, it comes out every year around october, it lists galleries, collectors, and employers. It tells you what each place requires and how to approach them.
good luck
great work.

Try going to local arts/crafts club shows.
Find a store which will put them on display.
That could be a restaurant, or coffee-shop.
Find out what other artists are doing.
Consider making prints for sale.
Basically, you have to get out there & test the waters.

Try getting them displayed in public places like a library, city building, airport or somewhere else. Make sure someone knows how to get ahold of you or a web site that has info to you.
I like your art, you got talent!

our most famous example 2 that question mayb "The Cat in the Hat". The author was thrown out, laughed at and called a fool for 23yrs of trying constantly before it made him millions... it's called being ahead of the times.
