'''Proposal: The Society should make the Library collection publicly accessible, preferably through a library facility open to the public on a regular schedule.'''
[[Library Loans]] have recently been authorized to resume by the Board. A pilot program is in place to develop data on the level of interest, volume of loans, and costs. At present, it is limited to Augustan members and recognized public and academic libraries.
Circulation should be limited to duplicates and titles easily replaced if lost. At present, the Librarian will make individual rulings on the items to be loaned. '''Proposal: The Society should study if resumption of the mail loan program is feasibleLong term, and the fees appropriate to offset both expenses and lossesitems that should not be loaned should be flagged as "non-circulating".'''
The collection should cover all five Augustan subjects, plus ancillary topics found useful, such as maps, style guides, and some general encyclopediae. Efforts to balance the collection should largely come from the five major departments and the [[Study Groups]].
