LIBRARY POLICY

1. People wishing to borrow or otherwise consult material held in the ADDACT  library must read and agree to these rules. Signing these rules will constitute an agreement between the ADDACT and the person who signed this form.

2. This agreement will become active only after it has been signed by a person who has been formally authorised by the Committee of the ADDACT , to sign this agreement on behalf of the Group.
