Goat: What are you doing, Pig? Pig: Looking at this little card in the front of my library book. It's got a bunch of names on it. Goat: Yeah, those are the people who have had the book before you. Pig: You little tramp.
I don’t mean to be snarky, but I wonder when Pastis last used a library. In my 65 years I have used a lot of different libraries, in at least two different countries, and I don’t think I have EVER seen a system where the borrower wrote his/her name on a card that was left in the book. Usually when the borrower’s name is written on a card, that card is then left with the library until the book is returned.
