2. Reciprocal borrowing means：

(A) Each cooperative library offers a certain regular number of library cards according to stipulations; each library card is allowed to borrow three books for two-week duration; renewals and reservations are not accepted.

(B)Faculties, staff members, and students participating in the cooperative organization are permitted to borrow books in each library via library cards.

3. Notices for reciprocal borrowing:

（A）Borrowers in each school are supposed to abide by other libraries’ regulations; otherwise, borrowers’ rights will be cancelled.
