PARTICULARS CONCERNING THE NATIONAL FILM LIBRARY Which Are of Vital Importance to Every Advertiser and to Every Owner of a 16 Millimeter Projector The National P'ilm Library renders to projector owners a free borrowing service of sixteen millimeter films which is somewhat similar to the service which a pubHc library offers to readers of books. This has been made possible through the co-operation of a selected group of advertisers who have gone to considerable expense in order to provide, through this Library, a large number of diversified and desirable subjects. Because of this it is assumed that users of the Library will, whenever possible, give their support to the advertisers who are listed on pages 5. 6 and 7 of this catalogue, and whose names are mentioned on the films sponsored by them. It is also expected, in consideration of the value of this service, that those who use the Library will be glad to acquaint themselves with the rules and regulations governing the administration of the Library and will agree to abide by them. Under no conditions will the National Film Library sanction the use of its film in what is termed (or known to be) a "Toy Projector." As new makes of projectors are placed on the market they will be tested by officials of the Library and. if found suitable, will be approved. APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP Each applicant will be required to fill out a blank giving his name, address and occupation, names of four references, manufacturer's name and number of his projector and from whom purchased. The applicant will also be asked to sign an agreement to abide by the following rules : 1. Films are to be used only in projectors approved by the National Film Library. 2. Serious injury to a film while in the possession of a member is to be paid for by that member. 3. If the film is withheld for more than a day, an overtime charge will be paid by the member. 4. The member fills out and returns with each film a report giving the number of persons who have seen that film while it was in his possession. 5. All transportation charges are to be paid by the member.
