Rules for Lending Books

I. Hours. The adult Lending Rooms of the Central and branch libraries are open daily from 9 a. m to 9 p. m., Sundays and holidays excepted. The Children's Rooms in the branches are closed after 6 p. m. The Central Children's Room is open daily except Sundays and holidays from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m.

2. Borrowers. Any resident or taxpayer of Pittsburgh is entitled to borrow books from the Library by signing the proper application and agreement and receiving a borrower's card. In the case of a child under fourteen years of age the application must also be signed by the parent or guardian.

Non-residents who can call at the Library for their books may obtain a borrower's card on payment of one dollar a year in advance. For non-residents who wish their books sent by mail or express the annual fee is two dollars. If a non-resident is employed or attending school in the city the guaranty of a resident tax-payer will be accepted instead of this fee.

Temporary residents may borrow books on making a deposit of five dollars, or more if deemed desirable, this sum to be returned to the depositor upon surrender of his borrower's card.

3. Borrowers' cards. A borrower's card may be used at the Central and branch libraries.

Each borrower is responsible for all books charged on his card.
Change of residence must be reported immediately.

Lost cards should be reported at once. Adult cards will be replaced fourteen days after notice of such loss. Juvenile cards will be replaced fourteen days after notice of loss is given upon the payment of a fine of five cents, or replaced without payment six months after notice of loss is given.

4. Issue of books. Holders of adult cards may borrow as many books of non-fiction as are needed at one time, together with two books of fiction, only one of which shall have been published within the current or the preceding year. Holders of juvenile cards may borrow two juvenile books at one time.

Books may be kept two weeks, except some new and popular books, which may be kept but seven days. Magazines are lent for seven days only.

5. Renewals. Non-fiction and certain standard fiction may be once renewed for two weeks from the date on which the request for renewal is received.

Requests for renewal may be made in person, by mail, or by telephone. In each case the call number of the book, the number of the borrower's card, and the date on which the book is due must be given. In return the borrower will receive a renewal card, which must be brought with the book when it is returned.

6. Reserves. Books may be reserved at the Library by payment of one cent for a postal card notice. As soon as the book is returned to the Library, this postal card will be mailed to the person making the request, and the book will be reserved two days. Requests for reserves may be made by telephone, in which case the cost of the postal card will be collected when the borrower calls for the book.

7. Fines. A fine of two cents a day (including Sundays and holidays) must be paid on each book kept overtime. The holder of a juvenile card may forfeit the use of his card for six months from the date upon which an overdue book is returned in place of payment of this fine. If a book is not returned within three weeks after the date on which it is due, a messenger will be sent for it. This messenger has authority to collect the fine incurred and an additional fee of twentyfive cents for messenger service.

A borrower must pay for books lost or injured while charged on his card. No books may be borrowed until fines and claims for damages have been paid.

No claim can be established because of the failure of the Post Office to deliver notices to or from the Library
