The following rules and regulations constitute the
conditions under which material may be borrowed from the Library.
Any modifications to these rules and regulations will be published
in future editions of "The
Czechoslovak Specialist" and
posted on the Society's web page.
-
Any member in good standing of
the Society for Czechoslovak Philately (SCP) may have the privilege
of borrowing material from the Library provided that this privilege
has not been suspended. A consistently poor record in returning
material late or in poor condition can lead to suspension of library
privileges.
-
Requests for material must be in
writing, signed, and accompanied by the requester's membership
number. Requests from minors must be cosigned by a parent or guardian.
-
There is no fee for borrowing
material from the Library. However, the requester must reimburse
the Society for the cost of the postage for mailing the material
to him/her. The borrower should submit this payment when returning
the borrowed material to the Library. Also, certain valuable
items must be insured for the stated amount; such items are identified
by an asterisk (*) in the Library Catalog.
-
All checks should be made personally
payable to the Librarian.
-
Material may be retained by a
borrower for any period up to 10 weeks. However, if another
request is received for the same item, the Librarian may request
the borrower to return the item after 5 weeks, or immediately,
whichever is later.
-
Unless instructed otherwise, material
will normally be shipped at the Library Materials Rate.
-
Material may be returned via the
Library Materials Rate. The package should be clearly endorsed
"Library Materials" and be addressed to "SCP Library",
c/o the Librarian. Doubting postal employees should be referred
to the Postal Service Manual.
-
When material is returned to the
Library in damaged condition, or whenever material is not returned
for any reason, the borrower will be expected to replace or make
suitable restitution for material lost or damaged when in his
possession.
-
Submission of a request for material
constitutes acceptance of these rules and conditions.
-
A copy of the Library Catalog
will be provided free of charge upon your written request to
the Librarian. The Catalog is also available on the Society's
web page. The Librarian's address and the web page address are
listed in the front of every issue of the Specialist.
