How did you find the book if it was checked out? Find it in the cards and then place a hold for when it was returned.
It also allowed for inter-library loans within a library system. One index file for the entire library system and then you could request books from other libraries.
I didn't, I just assumed they didn't have it and 9 times out of a hundred I would be right because it was such a small library with such little traffic.
