Patrons of the library are not to have access to the books in the cases. R u le 2. Should a patron wish to examine any book, name the letter and numbers opposite its name in the catalogue, to the Librarian, and, if not out, the volume will be handed you. Patrons will greatly facilitate the work of the Librarian by making a list of books wanted, with their letters, and numbers, on a slip of paper before leaving home. R u le 3. Each patron is earnestly requested to exercise care in tak­ ing out books, to see that the number is properly recorded by the Librarian, and also that it is carefully cancelled when the book is returned. R u le 4. Should the back number on any volume become detached it must be replaced with a good quality of mucilage, or preserved and delivered to the Librarian when the book is returned. R u le 5. Damages, more than ordinary wear, must be made good by the person in whose name the book is taken out, and the rule respecting fines, on the inside label of each volume, will be strictly observed. N o t e . The cases or alcoves are numbered by letter from A to I inclusive. The shelves in each case from one upward,— the top shelf in each case being No. 1. The books in each case are also numbered on the back, every case beginning with No. 1. Thus “ Boston Girl’s Ambition, A ,” I, 3, 62 signifies that the book can be found in case I, on shelf 3, and No. 62. ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BOOKS IN T H E f4cw Sbaron Gown Library. About Paris. Davis.
