Multiple subscriptions are not valid in the SMSA Tom Keneally Centre (i.e. the maximum number of books borrowable is 2 regardless of the number of library subscriptions paid for by the member).
Readers and WEA members are NOT eligible to borrow from the Tom Keneally Centre as their borrowing rights extend to the main SMSA Library only.
