Library
The NZGBA is pleased to now offer our members the use of a lending library of books and DVD’s.
Our aim is to continue to expand the content of the library, and in order to do this we plan to run an annual raffle with proceeds earmarked for the library fund. However, if anyone has books or DVD’s they find surplus to their requirements, we will be very grateful for any donations.

CONDITIONS OF BORROWING
Number of items: As the library is in its infancy, and in order to provide the best service to our members, it is necessary for us to restrict the total number of items an individual borrower may have on loan at any one time to two items.
Loan period: Library items may be borrowed for a period of up to three weeks. Materials retained for longer than the loan period will be subject to a charge. There will be a maximum loan period for all library materials of two months, after which the item is considered lost.
Loss or damage: Retention of borrowed items beyond the period of loan, or the return of items which have been damaged, will result in a charge for the replacement value of the item borrowed, plus a fee for costs incurred.
Loss of borrowing rights: Failure to return library items by due date and failure to pay all charges and fees as specified above will result in loss of borrowing rights.
Return of items: Items should be returned in a bubble pack envelope, accompanied by a spare bubble pack, by mail/courier to: H Moore, 30 Awarua Crescent, Orakei, Auckland 1071.

I am new and I can not see what to do in order to borrow from the library? I can only find information about how to return the borrowed materials.
