How to Check Out & Return Materials
Check out & return materials at the designated area on the Quaker books shelves. These instructions are also posted by the checkout spot.
Books should have a check-out card on or near the inside front cover. If the book doesn’t, or for checking out magazines or pamphlets, use a blank card, found at the back of the card box.
Fill in your name and the date (including the year) on the check-out card, and put the card in the front of the card box.
Return materials at the place reserved on the shelf.
