Keep your Card In this Pocket.]
To every borrower the library issues a borrower's card. This card is
made of heavy, colored tag-board, and contains the borrowers' name and
address, and his number in the series of borrowers' numbers.
The librarian, before delivering a book to a borrower, takes from the
pocket the book-card, writes on it the number found at the top of the
borrower's card, and after it, with a dater, stamps the day of the
month. At the same time he stamps the same date on the borrower's
card, and on the pocket in the book or on a dating slip pasted in the
book opposite the pocket.

The borrower's card he places in the book pocket, the book-card he
retains as a record of the loan, and the borrower takes the book away.
The book-card, with all others representing the books issued on the
same day, he places in a tray behind a card bearing the date of
the day of issue. All the book-cards representing books issued on a
certain day are arranged in the order of their call-numbers.
[Illustration: Tray for book-cards.]
Under this system the borrower can tell, by looking at his card, on
what date the book he has was taken from the library. If he wishes
to renew it without taking it back to the library, he can do so by a
letter stating that he took on a certain day a book bearing a certain
number, and wishes it renewed.
The librarian can tell, from the book-cards, what books are in
circulation, and how many of each class were lent on a certain day.
