                       LIBRARY LOAN REGISTRATION AND FEES 
 
The use of the loan service is available to all individual members of the  
Society in good standing, with U.S. addresses, who pay, in additional to their  
annual dues, the following charges: 
 
REGISTRATION FEE (one-time fee) .................................. $15.00 
SERVICE FEE (for each order) ..................................... $ 2.50 
                                                    plus cost of shipping 
 
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE: Fee varies by weight and distance. Deposit $10.00

each loan at the time it is shipped and of the balance remaining in your  
account.

Pay by check or money order only. CASH NOT ACCEPTABLE. 
 
 
                                   BOOK LIST 
 
The Library Book List will be sent upon payment of the  registration fee.  The
Book List, a reproduction of our shelf list,  indicates some volumes marked "Does
Not Circulate."  These may be seen only in the Library.  They do not circulate
because of age, rarity or size. Occasionally it becomes necessary to remove a
book from circulation for some reason.  If this is the case for one you have
requested, you will be notified.  It is suggested that you mark the fact in your
own copy of the Book List for future reference.  Notices of new library
acquisitions are regularly published in the  NGS Newsletter. 
                                

                                LOAN REQUESTS 
 
A Book Request form is sent with the Book List and with each subsequent order.  
Please list five titles in preference order on the order form.  For each title  
list correct and complete call numbers, including, in the case of family  
histories, the publication dates.  The first two titles available will be sent.  
The maximum loan is for two books.  Annual volumes of periodicals, bound or  
unbound, count as one book. When requesting a multi-volume work, specify which  
volume you want. 
 
Allow two weeks for processing your order.  Additional time is required during 
holiday periods. 
 
 
                                    SHIPPING 
 
Since UPS is faster, causes less damage to our books and includes free  
insurance, we use the UPS service for shipment of your orders. 
 
 
                                RETURNING BOOKS 
 
Books may be returned either by the U.S. Postal Service or United Parcel  
Service.  The packaging used for shipping to you is not strong enough for the  
return trip.  Please do not re-use.  Please write "FOURTH CLASS - LIBRARY  
MATERIALS - SPECIAL RATE" on the package when using U. S. mail.  Always place  
your name and NGS membership number on the outside of the package and on  
anything else sent to NGS.  Please send your next request form under separate  
cover.  Do not attach to outside of package or place inside the book being  
returned. 
 
Books may be kept for two weeks after receipt.  They will be considered overdue  
after that period, allowing for necessary travel time. 
 
Failure to return books promptly, or to wrap them carefully according to  
instructions will result in withdrawal of the loan privilege. 
 
 
                                   REPAIRING 
 
Please do not attempt to repair books.  Do not use cellophane tape on any book.
