GCA
Library Information and Agreement
1. The library is
available to all current GCA members. GCA membership
must be current through the time items are scheduled to
be returned (see item 5 below).
2. The library
operates via email. The database is posted on
www.georgiachess.org as a Microsoft Excel file. Requests
for books should be emailed to the librarian at librarian@georgiachess.org.
Cut and paste the entire line for the item(s) you are
requesting. Don't have MS Excel? E-mail the librarian
with your address and a hard copy will be mailed to you.
3. Requests are
limited to either 4 items or 28 oz at a time. For
example, you could check out one item that weighs 40 oz.
or 4 items that weigh a total of 26 oz. The database
lists the weight of each individual item.
4. Items will be
shipped with return materials and postage included.
5. Checkout term
is 30 days, meaning items must be back at the library on
the 30th day as determined by both shipping
and return postmarks. As soon as items are returned, you
may make a request for new items, though they will not
be shipped until the original items actually arrive back
at the library. Overdue penalty: .25 cents/day.
6. Certain items
will be flagged as particularly valuable. These items
will require a fully refundable deposit (check or money
order), listed in the appropriate column in the
database. In case of loss or damage, the deposit will be
used towards replacement.
7. Lost or stolen
items: Penalty will be cost of replacement plus 10%.
Note: The cover price listed in the database in most
cases is not the replacement cost. It is listed for
historical reference only. The more rare a book is, the
more expensive the replacement cost will be. In case an
exact replacement cannot be found, a suitable item,
similar in price and subject, will be purchased at the
sole discretion of the GCA librarian.
8. Until fines
are paid, GCA membership is suspended, meaning Georgia
Chess will not be mailed, nor can the member play in
GCA events. The suspension term counts towards the
one-year membership term.
