RULES

REGULATING THE MANNER OF

OPENING AND CONDUCTING THE LOGANIAN LIBRARY.

I. The Library shall be open daily (Sundays excepted) at the same hours as those of the Library Company of Philadelphia.

II. The Librarian shall deliver books to such persons as shall come to the Library in order to read them, and receive them again, previous to shutting up the room, first examining whether they are damaged. At the time of delivering a book to the person desirous of reading at the Library, he shall require his name, and enter it in a book to be kept for that purpose, together with the name of the book so delivered to him, which entry shall be cancelled when the book is returned. No person shall be permitted to take a book out of the room, before he has signed a promissory note to return the same, undefaced, within the time limited, viz. five weeks for a Folio, three weeks for a Quarto, and two weeks for those of smaller size, and shall, also, deposit double the value of the book with the Librarian until the same is returned. The borrower may, on producing the book to the Librarian, renew his note for the like time.

III. Any person keeping a book beyond the limited time shall pay to the Librarian, for the use of the institution, twenty-five cents, per week for a Folio, eighteen cents and three-quarters per week for a Quarto, and twelve cents and a half per week for any book of smaller size, to be deducted out of his deposit; and if the book shall be kept out so long, as that the fines shall amount to more than the sum deposited, then the signer of the note, shall be liable to the payment of the surplus; which terms shall be expressed in the form of the note.

IV. Any person injuring a book, and refusing to make compen. sation for it, or otherwise infringing the rules, shall be excluded from suture access to the books, until the next meeting of the trustees, when it shall be the duty of the Librarian to report, and of the trustees to take order, thereon.

V. All persons residing out of the city of Philadelphia who wish to take any book out of the Library, must first obtain permission in writing, from at least one of the trustees; if they reside more than seven miles from the city, they may retain a book double the time allowed an inhabitant within the city, without incurring a fine.

VI. The trustees shall, from time to time, determine what books shall not be permitted to be taken out of the Library.

By-law of the Loganian Library adopted February 14, 1833.The members of the Library Company of Philadelphia shall be permitted to take out books from the Loganian Library upon signing a promissory note to return the same undefaced within the time limited by the existing by-law, and upon pledging at the same time their respective shares in the Company as security for such return

xiv

in the manner and form hereafter presented. Provided that no such pledge shall be received, if at the time of applying for a book in the Loganian Library he shall have a book out of the other institution or that the books so applied for shall in the opinion of the Librarian exceed the value of forty dollars.

By-law of the Library Company adopted February 14, 1833.No member shall be entitled to take out a hook upon his or her share who at the same time has a book out of the Loganian Library upon a pledge of the same share.
