The society has a library of poetry books that have been lodged with the University of Suffolk for safe keeping and to allow access to a wider audience.
Members of the public are required to join the library in order to access them. They are freely available to students.
Members are very welcome to visit the Library and borrow the SPS books on loan. This involves applying to be an associate member of the Library. The Library has given full instructions on how to do this on their website. Please note that you need to plan ahead before any visit, getting an email from the Society’s Secretary (secretary@suffolkpoetrysociety.org) confirming you are a member, and you will then have to allow time for the Library to process your application.
The arrangement is detailed below.
“This document outlines the agreement in place between:
SUFFOLK POETRY SOCIETY of chair@suffolkpoetrysociety.org.uk (“the Society”)
THE UNIVERSITY OF SUFFOLK, of learningservices@uos.ac.uk (“the University” or “the Library”)
This agreement relates to a collection of resources (“the Collection”) deposited by Suffolk Poetry Society, with the University Of Suffolk Library. A full list of items contained within the collection can be found in Appendix A (see table below).
This document updates and replaces the agreement signed by Suffolk Poetry Society 6th February 2017.
Duration of agreement
This agreement is to be in place for as long as both parties continue to be active organisations.
Should the University of Suffolk cease to be an active organisation, the University or its representatives shall notify the Society to arrange the return of the Collection, or the re-deposit of the Collection with another library of a cultural or educational nature. A notice period of no less than one calendar month shall be given in so far as is reasonably practicable.
Should the Society cease to be an active organisation, the Society or its representatives shall notify the University to arrange the permanent deposit of the Collection with the Library, or the return of the Collection for disposal in line with the Society’s charitable provisions. A notice period of no less than one calendar month shall be given in so far as is reasonably practicable.
Management of the Collection
Items listed in Appendix A are to be held within the Library collection at the University of Suffolk. A dynamic list of the current holdings shall be provided to the Society.
Items held within the Collection are to be clearly identified as belonging to the Society.
New items to the Collection can be added through agreement with the Library.
Items held within the Collection are to be managed by the Library, this includes the replacement of items lost or damaged by members of the University’s borrowing community, unless members of the Society.
Where an item within the Collection is lost or damaged the Library is to notify the Society’s Secretary.
The Library shall provide the Society with loan data for the Collection within 21 working days of the request being received.
Access to the collection by members of the Society
Members of the Society shall have free access, with borrowing privileges, to the collection, through the Associate membership scheme in place at the Library.
Borrowing shall be in line with the Library’s borrowing and overdue policy. A copy of the current policy can be obtained from the Library.
Should members of the Society wish to access other areas of the Library collection, a fee will be charged to each individual, in line with the Library Associate membership scheme.
Where borrowing is not required members of the Society shall be permitted access through pre-arranged reference access. This shall be arranged by contacting the Library at least one working day in advance of the visit.
The Library reserves the right to update its policies to ensure they remain aligned with sector standards. The Society and the Library will review the agreement annually on 1st August in the light of any possible change in Library policies.
