The Metcalfe Society Library Department provides publications which may be borrowed by members either by post or ordered for collection at Society meetings. Members borrowing by post are asked to pay postage both ways plus a contribution of 20p towards packaging costs. When returning the book simply enclose stamps to the value of the stamps on the package when it arrives, plus 20p. Please ensure that all articles are returned promptly and in good condition. The society is looking for a way to give overseas members a similar service. Please retain this list which will be up-dated regularly in the Mecca News.
