I had the same problem when I did a display in our library. I figured that
the largest amount of people who visit are in the 'random strangers'
category so I needed something to catch their interest[1].
I filled two cabinets[2]: one with mocs and one with sets and other LEGO
stuff (Ultimate LEGO Book, keychains, cap). Adults/older kids are probably
also interested in a little history (perhaps also nostalgia) or about the
collecting side of the hobby.
On the other hand the younger kids probably just want to see a lot of LEGO
so I made a display so there was plenty for them to see.[3]
For pictures of the display see:

[1] I experienced that the Dragon sculpture does a great job for this: it's
big, green and cute. The most people said that that attracted their
attention to see the rest of the display.
[2] I chose closed cabinets because it had to be possible to leave all the
stuff unattended at times.
[3] The cabinets were set up so there was a lot of things visible from all
sides. I found that diorama style worked better than just putting MOCs on a
shelf. The most viewers said that it was nice to see the minifigs 'interact'
with the models on display.
