USE OF BOOKS

Readers are requested to use the books with care. They should not do any marking with pen or pencil in
the books, nor should they fold pages, nor try to remove pages from books and magazines or take
unissued material out of the library. For serious study a calm and peaceful atmosphere is necessary and
we therefore, request the readers to help us maintain such an atmosphere in the Library. Students should
refrain from causing disturbance to others or else they will be denied access to library facilities.


RE-ISSUE OF BOOKS

The books must be returned to the library on the date marked on the date slip at the end of the book. As
a rule, a book will not be re-issued on the day on which it is returned. It may be issued the next day, if there
