The Library has traditionally differentiated the loan allowance between those who live within 20 miles of the Library (10 books at any one time) and those who live further away.

In order to offer an equal service to all members and simplify our systems, we have decided to allow a loan allowance of 15 for all members.

Those who wish to borrow more than 15 books at any one time are able to increase their allowance for an additional fee in sets of five up to 40. The change will come into effect at the beginning of July.
