Stock verification

Dear all,

I am taking the charge of  ABC  engineering college  library  from March 1,2011 onwards. Hence the stock verification of our library was not done by the former librarian; the present collection status of  the Library is not available. It is very important to conduct a stock verification of books and other library related materials.

The library will be closed  for stock verification   from April 1,2011 to April 30,2011 .Please return all books issued by Library  before March 31,2011.

Books can be reissued only after stock verification.

Regards
Librarian
