Dear Mr,
The British Council Library operates in Lahore, with a minimum of rules. All new members are sincerely welcome, the main consideration is that the few rules and regulations that are enforced or relaxed from time to time work for the benefit of the total borrowing membership of the library.
- You are required to furnish your name, surname and complete address, and telephone nember, if any, you will have to furnish local reference.
- We charge no admission fees, but you will have to pay Rs.100/- as annual subscription which falls due on April 1 every year. No refund is made in case the member decides to close his membership before the expiry of the period for which subscription has once been paid.
- We issue a borrower’s card which will entitle you to borrow one book at a time for a period of 15 days.
- One renewal ton upon request subject for a period of 7 days is possible, and after expiry of this period, no further renewal are allowed.
- Borrowers are responsible for the materials checked out to them and for their safe return. Lost or damaged books would have to be paid for in accordance with the market rate of the book, or if the book is available in the market, at a rate to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Library. In that case borrowing priviledges will be suspended until the Library is reimbursed.
- Reference books magazines and some art books are no loaned out by library. The Librarian on duty will have the final word as to which book on material can be loaned for home use.
- The Library reserves the right to suspend the borrowing privileges of any member who shows lack of sense of responsibility in dealing with the property of the Library.
Yours faithfully.
