City Library Association
Springfield, Mass. Feb. 14, 1899.
The book noted below is now in the library and will be
reserved for you until 9 P.M., Feb. 15.
_Please present this notice and your library card._ A charge

JOHN COTTON DANA, _Librarian_.

_Book No._ 2173.54
_Title, etc._ Ave Roma Immortalis.
Reserve Postal, Form 1, Jan. 30. '98, 500]
The borrower's number, written on the book-card of any given book in
circulation, will give, through the register of borrowers, the
name and address of the person having that book. Overdue books are
automatically indicated, their cards remaining in the tray, behind
the card indicating the date they were lent, after the day for their
return has passed.
When a borrower returns a book the librarian can learn, from the date
on the pocket, whether or no a fine should be paid on it; if not, he
can, if in haste, immediately take out the borrower's card from the
book pocket, stamp the date of its return at the right of the date on
which it was lent, thus canceling the charge against the borrower, and
lay the book aside and look up its book-card later.

I hereby declare that I am a resident of the City of Springfield, and in
consideration of the right to use the Free City Library, agree to comply
with all Regulations provided for its government.
George Brown.
I hereby certify that the above subscriber is a fit person to enjoy the
privileges of the City Library, and that I will be responsible for any
loss or injury the Library may sustain from the permission given to draw
books in consequence of this certificate.

Double and special borrowers' cards are not needed under this
system. It accommodates itself readily to a "two-book" system. On the
book-cards belonging to the second book, and all other books after
the first, which any borrower may take, the librarian writes the
borrower's number preceded by any letter or sign which will serve to
indicate that these books are charged, not on the borrower's card, but
to the borrower direct, on the strength of a general permission to him
to take more than one book.
