FOR YOUR ESPECIAL ATTENTION Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of returning films within the period for which they are hired. When films are retained by borrowers beyond the date they are due for return, other Library Members have to be dis- appointed. When you hire films, therefore, please return them to the Library on the day they are due. You would be disappointed if the films you booked were delayed—do not disappoint others by failing to return those you hire in good time.

Hire Periods Hire is cliarged for each day on which films are held by you, 'ivhethcr you use them or not. It will enable the librarian to avoid disappointing other Library members waiting for your films if he receives the reels on the day they are due. You are particularly urged to return films on the date agreed to without delay. Only if all members do this without fail can the librarj^ system run smoothly. You can imagine the disappointment at a children's party or at any other time, when hlms ordered do not arrive owing to a previous hirer failing to return them to the Library. Please, therefore, always make a point of sending films back in good time. This not only ensures that other members will get the films they want when they want them, but will keep your account at a minimum. (See paragraph on returning films.) Returning Films W'licn returning films, please use the label that accompanies them. Members are requested to fill up the spaces on this label, showing the dates on which the films were returned. These dates are used in calculating hire charges. Careful attention to this important detail will avoid possible misunderstanding. Always return your films to the place from which }-ou received them.
