III. OTHER THINGS

Accession book. See catalog of the Library Bureau. For a very small
library a common blank-book will do.

Agreement blanks, which the borrower signs before getting his
borrower's card giving him the right to use the library. See chapter
on charging systems.

Book cards. See chapter on charging systems, and Library Bureau
catalog.

Book pockets. See Library Bureau catalog, and also chapter on charging
systems.

Borrowers' cards. Given to borrowers as evidence of their right to
draw books. See chapter on charging systems.

Borrowers' register, best kept on cards. See chapter on charging
systems.

Catalog cards. These are of two sizes and many thicknesses. Select
what suits you. See Library Bureau catalog.

Catalog case. See Library Bureau catalog. For a very small library a
few japanned tin trays will serve. But your catalog will grow faster
than you suppose.

Cole size card; a sheet marked in such a way as to give one at a
glance the proper letter to use in indicating the size of any book
placed on it. See Library Bureau catalog. In a very small library not
needed.

Classification scheme. See chapters on classification.

Cutter author table for book numbers. See chapter on book numbers. For
a very small library one can use numbers only.

Daters and ink pads for dating borrowers' cards, etc. The pencil
daters are best. See chapter on charging systems.

Ink. For all outside labels use Higgins' American drawing ink,
waterproof. For book cards, borrowers' cards, etc., use any good
black, non-copying ink. Carter's fluid is very good.

Labels. Round ones are best and those ready gummed do well if
carefully put on. Dennison's "88A" are good.

Paste. Binder's paste is good; for library use it needs thinning.
Higgins' photo mounter and other like bottled pastes are better.
