Designed to assist nonautomated libraries in operating an efficient circulation system, this publication explains all forms and procedures necessary to maintain and circulate books and equipment to eligible readers. Five sections outline and detail procedures for establishing and maintaining files, setting up patron records, book circulation and collection maintenance, temporary and support activities, and recording and reporting statistics. The procedures are arranged in step-by-step order within each section. Appendices provide sample forms and letters, flow diagrams, and a glossary of terms. (FM)
