15. Other residents, and non-resident employees in the borough, over
twelve (fourteen) years of age, may borrow books, but must first
obtain a guarantee (or recommendation) from a duly qualified person,
as defined in Rule 14, and must sign an application for a borrower’s
ticket, on forms to be provided by the librarian. But no such
guarantor shall be allowed to assume responsibility for more than
three other persons, unless by special arrangement with the committee,
and in no single case shall his or her liability exceed £2 per person
guaranteed.
16. Any person resident or employed in the borough, unable to obtain
the signature of a qualified resident as a guarantee, may borrow books
on leaving a deposit of 10s. with the librarian. The guarantee of the
recognized head officials of Government departments, Friendly
Societies and similar organizations may be accepted at the discretion
of the Committee in lieu of an ordinary guarantee, for persons who are
employed in the district.
17. The Application and Guarantee Form, duly signed, must be delivered
to the librarian, and if, on examination, it is found correct, the
borrower’s ticket will be issued three days (_or_ at once) after
(excluding Sundays), but will only be delivered to the borrower in
person. This ticket will be available at the central library or any
branch or branches.
18. In accordance with Section 11 of the Public Libraries Act, 1892,
the committee will lend books to persons, other than those duly
qualified under Rules 13-16, who pay an annual subscription of 7s.
6d.; but such borrowers must conform, in every respect, to all the
rules of the library, and shall have no privileges other than those
possessed by the other borrowers.
19. The committee shall issue additional tickets to readers, available
for all classes of literature save Fiction. Any duly enrolled borrower
may have one of these extra tickets on filling up an application form
as for an ordinary ticket. School teachers may have more than one
ticket of this class on application to the librarian.
20. All tickets and vouchers must be renewed annually, each ticket and
voucher being reckoned available for one year from date of issue.[13]
[13] In some libraries the practice has arisen of making tickets
permanent, as long as the holder resides in the district, without
renewal annually. In place of renewal, a revision takes place, to
ensure accuracy of addresses, etc.; where this is so, Rule 20 is
unnecessary.
