- Books may be borrowed only by members of the Society resident in the UK. Certain books are not available for loan.
- Two books may be borrowed at one time.
- The normal time limit is one month, but a loan may be renewed provided the books are not wanted by another reader. Renewals may be requested by email to librarian@thebuddhistsociety.org, by telephone (020 7834 5858) during opening hours (2.00pm to 6.00pm Monday to Friday and 2.00pm to 5.00pm on Saturdays), or by post if it is not convenient to visit the Library in person.
- In the case of books borrowed by post, the borrower must note the postage which was charged on the parcel and include a remittance for this amount when the books are returned. Please do not send payment by cheque for amounts of less than £2.00; postage stamps are acceptable.
- Books will be recalled if they are overdue or if they are urgently required by another reader.
- In the event of books being damaged or not returned, the borrower undertakes to reimburse the Library for the cost of the replacement.
