NCS Library
(September, 2004)
Library Rules
Please read and abide by the following:
The purpose of our library is to make its books, tapes, and equipment available for loan to Full
members.
1. Each borrowed item must be checked out by the librarian.
2. Each returned item must be checked in by the librarian.
3. A borrowed item must be returned by the next meeting. If the borrower cannot attend that
meeting, acceptable alternatives are:
• Arrange for another person to deliver the item to the librarian.
• Call or e-mail the librarian, and if there is no waiting list for the item, it may be renewed a
maximum of two times.
• Return the item to the librarian by US Postal Service.
4. The borrower is responsible for the care and return, in good condition, of the borrowed item.
Otherwise, the borrower must pay the cost of replacement.
We have the nucleus of a nice library, and we would like to add books, tapes, and CDs that will
meet the desires of our members. If you have a recommendation, please tell your librarian.
