Snag them and use them as bookmarks. Start tearing them in pieces, deposit random notes to the outside world buried inside your returning books.
A little more orderly: chopped into the appropriate shapes, these check-out cards become fortunes. Each is a simple summary / impression of the book being returned.

(Pulled back briefly because there were a couple praxis up that I didn't want to push off the front page earlier in the day.)
vote for the winsome fortunes, but i can't condone defacing them!
i like the use of thematic media and the thoughtful fortunes. when you said the borrower records were left in the books, i had visions of you writing cryptic messages on them and returning them, intact, to their pouches for an inquisitive eye to find and i got really excited!
I had been returning cards intact with crypticisms upon them for some time, though for this task I decided to get the most out of each. One borrower record = 7 or 8 fortunes, depending on how small I could write. (I'm sure there are others who could stretch them into many, many more.)
I wanted it to be self contained (about the book and/or from the book) and with thematic media, so hopefully it's less of a defacement than a reincarnation.
at least your handwriting is killer sweet ;)
I really appreciate your words. This praxis is beautiful, and I would be thrilled to find one of these fortunes in a library book.
The last one is my favorite, Mr. Naming.

Begun at the start of summer. For some reason I feel today is the end of summer, though I am assured it isn't. This may continue / be updated as we go. Open to post-posting collaboration.
