The second part is (relatively) easy - buy some cork at your
local Lowes/Home Depot/Phila.Sales/etc. and glue it to the
wooden board.  Voila!  Corkboard!  (You may need to nail it
at intervals around the edges also, esp. if you can't take the
wooden board down to lie flat while the glue is drying).

For the second question, the only _real solution I know of is
to hang proper display boards on the walls.  It's so hard to
hang things on concrete; they fall down all the time.  If you
can get a board, get your buildings staff to put a hook for it
right into the wall, so that it'll stay.  Be prepared to clean up
the dust after they're done with the drilling!

Good luck!
