Spanish term or phrase: panel de anuncio libre
I'm a bit confused by the use of 'libre' here. free-standing' / 'free advertising' / or a flexible system allowing various spaces for placing the advertising.

"panel de anuncio libre"
"communicación libre"

El **panel de anuncio libre**, equipada con una chapa galvanizada, excelente solución para la **comunicación libre** y ordenada.
Marco de aluminio de 75 mm de espesor equipada de 2 chapas galvanizadas, para permitir anunciar en ambas caras.

Explanation:
I think the "libre" parte means that anyone can freely use them; they're not just for official announcements.

"Panel de anuncios de información libre
El panel de anuncios de información libre sirve para que los vecinos de una población puedan colgar sus anuncios de todo tipo y así se evita que los cuelguen en las farolas, los árboles etc."

But what do you call them? Literal versions, like "free-use announcement panel", or somethin like that, don't seem to work, or at least never seem to be used. "Community notice board" is one possibility; it's the same idea, I think. For example:
