Maximum of 2 bags at any one time, to allow for the change over in titles every six weeks.

• Bags can only be issued to an adult member who is a Porirua resident.
• Bags are issued for six weeks (42 days), and can't be renewed.
• Bags are available on a first-come, first-served basis and can't be reserved.
• The person borrowing the bag is responsible for distributing the books, then collecting and returning them to the library by the due date. 
• They will also be liable for any charges that may be incurred if books are damaged or missing.
• You can make copies of any of the resources contained in the folder for your book group members.
• Each book is numbered, so you can keep track of who has them.

Please bring the bag back to the circulation desk with everything in it.

Please don't put the bag through the after-hours slot

Make sure all 10 books and the folder are returned, so the books won't stay issued on your library card.
