[Publib] An odd request

[Baird at sptimes.com]

Hi,

One of our reporters sent the library this request this morning:

***
Odd search not work related, but I'm enlisting anyone I can. Friend of 
mine, an artist in New York is trying to collect the old library signout 
cards, from the pocket inside in the  back, the kind you signed, for an 
art installation celebrating books as a form of community.  I know this is 
quite archaic and I suspect my best bet is used book dealers, but I 
wondered if just by chance some library had a box of them in storage.
***

Can anyone think of such a trove hidden in their basements?  Would you 
mind parting with some to help this artist? 

Please message me off-list and thanks for any help you can give.
