SMT Library Listing
Library Guidelines
PURPOSE: To expand the educational resources available to the membership in a cost effective way.
RESOURCES: Primarily books. Audio and visual materials will be added as the library is expanded.
COST TO MEMBERS: None. Materials will be donated or consigned to the library. The borrower must deposit an escrow check, made payable to SMT, at the time of book delivery. This deposit check will be as compensation to SMT should the borrower lose or fail to return the book at the obligated time. The check will be returned to the borrower upon return of the material. IOUs are not accepted.
PERIOD OF LOAN: One month (between meeting dates). If there is no one on the waiting list for the material, the lending period can be extended. Reservations can be made at the meeting, by emailing Vas at: vas@pobox.com.
BUILDING THE COLLECTION: Members are requested to donate or consign materials they feel can add to the personal development and skills of the membership.
LIBRARY CONTENTS: An up-to-date materials list will be available to choose from at each meeting.
LIMITATIONS: Members will be limited to a single borrowing. As the Library grows, the limit will be expanded. The library size will eventually be limited to 100 books. Less popular books will be phased out and replaced.
(Listings are not always up-to-date. See Rudy at each meeting.)
