New* library rules announced. “Anyone intoxicated was not allowed to borrow a book, and anyone behaving in a disorderly manner would be fined at least five shillings per offence. Book loans were restricted to one volume per person, but exceptions could be made to increase that if a household had six members who could prove they could read.” *150 year old https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-30/library-book-returned-after-150-years-kiama-library/106970186 #libraries
