1. (a) If misuse of service continues or recurs, Texas State Library staff will send a notice suspending service.
2. (b) The suspension period will not exceed six months.
3. (c) To avoid suspension, the borrower must contact the Texas State Library before the scheduled suspension date and show cause why suspension should not take place.
4. (d) Suspension will relate only to the portion of service being misused. For example, if the misuse relates to cassette books, then cassette service would be suspended, but circulation of magazines would continue. If the recurring offense is verbal abuse of Texas State Library staff, the borrower would lose telephone privileges and would be limited to written or third-person communication with the library.
