The Metcalfe Society - Lending Library

This is a new venture with a growing selection of material. Thanks to the generosity of members our stock is rising steadily.

Books may be borrowed by post or may be ordered for collection at Society meetings. In either case, please quote the full title and author. If your request is out on loan it will be forwarded as soon as possible.

Returning books : There is no fixed borrowing period but members are requested to return books as soon as possible - certainly within six weeks.

Postage (UK) : Members borrowing by post are asked to pay postage BOTH ways plus a contribution of 20p towards packing costs. When returning the book simply enclose stamps to the value of the stamps on the package when it arrives, plus twenty pence. e.g. If the package carried stamps to the total of 54p, you should enclose 74p in postage stamps with the returning book.

Overseas Members : We are looking for a way of giving you a similar service. It is hoped to have members in Canada and New Zealand who will be willing to act as local librarians - watch the Mecca News for details.

Member Contributions :If you have booklets or other publications which you think might be of interest to other members, please send them direct to the librarian (address in the Members Only area).

Non-Members Contributions : Submissions to the library are also welcome from non members - either originals or copies. Contact the Society Secretary.
