of Camberwell, declare that I believe (Name in full)
(Occupation) (Age) (Residence)
to be a person to whom books may be safely entrusted
for perusal; and I hereby undertake to replace or pay the
value of any book or books belonging to the Commissioners
of Public Libraries which shall be lost or injured
by the said borrower. I also undertake to pay the
fines and expenses incurred in recovering the same."
5.—Persons residing in the Parish may leave a deposit
of Ten Shillings with the Librarian in lieu of the signature
of a Ratepayer as a Guarantee, and shall then be entitled to
borrow books from the Library.
6.—Voucher Forms may be had from the Librarian on
payment of One Penny each. The Voucher, duly filled up
and signed, must be delivered to the Librarian, and if found
to be satisfactory, the Borrower's Ticket, entitling to the use
of the Library, will be ready on the same day in the following
week, and will be available for a period of twelve
months. The Ticket will only be delivered to the Borrower
in person.
7.—Borrowers' Tickets are not transferable, and must
be renewed annually from the date of issue. Borrowers
losing their tickets must give immediate notice in writing to
the Librarian, as they or their Guarantors will be held
responsible for any books taken out in their name. Borrowers
may use any of the Lending Libraries; but no book
will be issued except on production of the Ticket.
8.—Borrowers leaving the Parish, or ceasing to use the
Library, are required to return their Tickets to be cancelled,
in order that they and their Guarantors may be relieved
