Library » Policies

The UMass Anime & Manga Club maintains a library of anime, manga, and related items, which has been donated by members or purchased by the club itself. A catalogue of library items is available on the website and is updated on a regular basis. In addition, there are borrowing guidelines, and information on donating anime to the library.

The UMass Anime & Manga Club library works much like any other. The policy detailed below is designed to offer fair access to all members while at the same time protecting the library's assets:

• Since the Library contains more than just tapes, one "item" will be used to refer to one of a tape, CD, DVD or other medium which might later be introduced.
  
  
• Only members may borrow items from the library. To become a member for free, you must join us on Campus Pulse. People without access to Campus Pulse (those who aren't students or faculty) must pay a fee or donate for membership.
  
  
• Each member may have a maximum of two items on loan at any time. An item must be returned before another may be taken out in it's place.
  
  
• Each item may be kept for up to a week, after which it must be returned.
  
  
• Each item not returned on time will incur in the borrower a late fee of 25 cents per day, up to a maximum of $10 after which the item will be declared lost.
  
  
• Any lost or damaged item will incur in the borrower a fee of the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price of the item + 15% in the case that it is commercially available, or $20 otherwise.
  
  
• Any outstanding fees must be paid before more items may be borrowed.
  
  
• Items marked as Adult may only be borrowed by members at least eighteen years of age.
  
  
• Members acknowledge responsibility for borrowed items and agree to follow the above rules.
  

If you don't obey the policies, this will happen:
