CIMC: Participating at CIMC: Dharma Library

Dharma Library

CIMC’s library is located on the 2nd floor. It contains books from three major Buddhist schools (Theravadin, Zen, and Tibetan), audio tapes of Dharma talks, and a small collection of videos.

Anyone may use materials in the library, however borrowing privileges are reserved for current members of CIMC. If you are not a member and wish to use the library on a weekday, please call the office and we will arrange to let you in.

Members may borrow as many as two of any item (book, audio tape and video tape) for up to two weeks. Only books may be renewed for another two weeks. Please use all reference materials in-house only.

(1) Obtain a blank form from the back of the borrowing log. Fill in your name and phone number and place the sheet in the section that corresponds with the first letter of your last name. This will be your personal sign-out sheet, aiding you in finding the information you need when returning items to the library. When you sheet is full please obtain another, keeping them together.

(2) Fill out the required information in the appropriate column(s). As reminders, please use the bookmarks provided, marking them with the return dates. You may also use them for audio and video tapes. Please be sure to use a protective cassette case for each audio tape borrowed. Leave fee(s) in the oval box ($.50 for audio/ $2.00 for video).

(3) Please leave returned items in the basket on the counter and entered the return date in the borrowing log. Also, please rewind tapes.

The library depends on your integrity for its smooth operation. Please return books and tapes on time. Thank you.
