STATIONERY AND RECORDS
=322. Forms and Blanks.=--Most of the important forms and blanks have
already been described and figured under the different departments to
which they refer, and this section will, therefore, only deal with a few
general forms. NOTEPAPER of various kinds should be provided, some in
the ordinary business size, some post quarto, and some foolscap folio.
On each of these sizes the usual heading should be printed, with the
arms and name of the town, librarian’s name, and any other information
thought necessary. All ordinary correspondence can be carried on with
the business size, but official and complimentary letters should be
written on the larger sizes. ENVELOPES to suit the various sizes should
also be procured, and it is a good plan to stock some large-sized manila
envelopes for sending off large documents, reports, etc. These can be
had in a variety of sizes, and some of them have clasps instead of
gummed flaps, which make them very useful for temporary filing purposes.
Gummed postal WRAPPERS should also be stocked in a fairly large size,
and LABELS for sending off parcels, with the name of the library boldly
printed on them, will be found very useful.
