'Turnback Tuesday' highlights original Derby Public Library book cards

Turnback Tuesday is sharing the original Book Cards used at the [Derby Public] Library. 
Cards like this are still used today by many libraries. At the same token, many libraries are using a computer print out sheet to tell you when items are due back. 
The handwritten number after the stamp return dates are believed to be an individual’s card number. 
These cards go back to 1903 and are part of the library’s history and collection.

*Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
