(But not posting until Friday.) The Library Think Tank FB group had a photo of this vintage library card. The poster asked if anyone remembered that style. That elicited many comments, of course. I recalled an ALA conference when Gaylord had an exhibit of its charging machines. Larry Nix reported that in his blog post. I'm sure many RMRTers recall Gaylord library cards -- either because they had them or because their libraries used them. Or both! [For the record: my card number was C2353. :))

Gaylord's Charging Machine |
At the American Library Association Annual Conference in Chicago last week I went through the hundreds of library vendor exhibits in the area that ALA is calling "The Stacks". I stopped by the Gaylord Bros. booth to look at their display cases and was very pleasantly surprised to find that one of their display cases contained early examples of their well know library charging machines. |
