[Publib] Barcodes

[Roslyn Yerman]

The Madison Heights Public Library used to place either a duplicate 
barcode, a property stamp, or both (my memory fails) on page 29 of a 
book, since that is the library's  number in our cooperative's system.  
As I think about it at this moment, I honestly couldn't tell you if this 
is still a part of the processing process.
