These voucher cards should be printed on a stout material, which may be of a different colour for each type of reader--burgess, non-burgess, student, etc.--and handed free to any person entitled to borrow books. When returned filled up, they are duly examined to ascertain if the applicant is duly qualified, and when this is done the card is filed, after it has been numbered from the number book, and the borrower’s card made out. The space in the top left-hand corner is to hold the borrower’s name, boldly written in as a catch-word for alphabetical arrangement. The No. . . . space at the top right-hand corner is for the borrower’s progressive number. The Date. . . space at the bottom left-hand corner is the date of application, which also becomes the date of expiry two years later. The Elector’s Roll. . . space at the bottom right-hand corner is for the number on the current electors’ roll. It is a useful thing to mark this roll with the numbers of the cards of any borrowers for whom a ratepayer may be guarantor, in all cases where a limit is put to the number whom one person may guarantee. There is generally plenty of marginal space for this purpose. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | ........................................ _No._ ..................... | | | | LIBERTON PUBLIC LIBRARIES. | | | | _This voucher, properly filled in, entitles the reader to a_ GENERAL | | TICKET, _and, if desired, a_ NON-FICTION TICKET, _which are valid | | for two years from date of issue._ | | | | I, the undersigned, being a Burgess of the Borough of Liberton, | | hereby make application to the Public Libraries Committee for a | | Ticket, entitling me to Borrow Books from a Lending Library, and I | | hereby undertake to replace, or pay the value of any Book belonging | | to the Corporation of Liberton, which shall be lost or injured by | | me, also to pay all Fines, and all expenses of recovering same, in | | accordance with the Rules, by which I agree to be bound. | | | | _Name in full_ ..................................................... | | If a Lady, state if Mrs or Miss. | | | | _Residence_ ........................................................ | | | | _Date_ .................... _No. on Electors’ Roll_ .............. |
