How to Check Out a Book at a Deposit Library
Please take the card out of the back of the book and make some sort of mark on it so that we know it has been circulated. You do not need to put your name if you do not want to. Any type of mark is fine. Then place the card behind the letter tab in the box that is the first letter of the author’s last name.
When the book is returned please retrieve the card and place it back in the pocket of the book. This way we know what type of books are going out and can tailor the collection according to the reading preferences of each individual locality.
