Agency Cards are issued in the group's name and may be used by anyone within the group who is authorized by the groups' signing officer. These cards are not intended for personal use.
The group's signing officer is responsible for materials borrowed on the card. Regular loan periods, fees and responsibilities apply (such as a loan limit of 35 items per card.)
