COGCOA Library
The Covenant maintains a several collections of library materials
for the use of members.
If you have any suggestions for new library acquisitions, please contact the
librarian.
- A library User must be a member in good standing of the Covenant of
Gaia, at least 18 years of age, who has either made a one-time $5.00
donation to the library or donated one or more acceptable items to the
library.
- The act of borrowing any material from the Covenant's library
obligates the User to the following responsiblities:
- to return the material on or before the due date;
- to return the material in substantially the same condition in
which it was loaned;
- to pay any late fees or other charges incurred as a result of
borrowing materials;
- to replace any library materials lost or destroyed while on loan
to the User;
- to pick up materials put on hold before the expiry of the hold
period, or to inform the library that the hold may be cancelled.
- Arrangements to borrow, renew, hold or return library materials
may be made by contacting the librarian. The details of
these arrangements may vary at the sole discretion of the
librarian.
- A User may have up to five items on loan at any given time.
- Loans are due back 30 days from the date of borrowing.
- A User may renew the loan of an item up to 3 times.
- A hold is a reservation put an item to prevents anyone else from
borrowing that item for a period of 7 days. If the item is not
currently on loan then the hold period begins immediately. If the
item IS on loan then the hold period starts on the item's due date and
expires 7 days later. In the latter case a reasonable attempt will be
made by the library to notify the User when the item becomes
available.
- Any borrowed item which is not returned by its due date is subject
to a $0.50 per day late fine.
- A User's borrowing privileges are automatically suspended until
all outstanding fines have been paid.
- Outstanding fines in excess of $20.00 may result in further
disciplinary action including, but not limited to, cancellation of
borrowing privileges, suspension from attendance at Covenant events or
legal action.
- Lost or damaged materials shall be replaced by the User who
borrowed them. The User has two options:
- Replace the item personally within 30 days.
- Pay the replacement cost of the item plus any shipping and/or
handling fees as determined by the librarian.
This is a privately owned collection affiliated with the Covenant's
library. The regulations are the same as those of the Kate Collection.
