Due date slips

There should not be a problem with adhering data due slips on the
boards of the book *if* the circulation staff lays the board flat on
the desk before stamping them.  Unfortunately this doesn't always
happen.  Solid training as to WHY the books should be held with the
textblock and front (or back) cover vertical and the back (or front)
board flat on the desk while stamping may help alleviate this
problem.
