I expect that this is fairly common now that check-out cards are no longer in library books. [I have noticed multiple books with similar ‘marks’ in various books I have gotten.. ]
Good point! That’s how I used to tell which of the E.W. Hildick mysteries I had already read, back in grade school.
A few times I did not realize I had read it before, either recognized in the first chapter and moved to the return pile, or decided it was time for a re-ready anyway!
Or you could just keep a list. Much easier than having to open each book to see if you’ve read it already.
Many of the modern library management systems can list what materials a particular user checked out over a given time frame, such as for the last year. Just check your check out history to see what you have already read.
My grandmother used to do that on page 100 of every book she checked out. Later, when I became a librarian, I would allow customers to initial on the last page. They’re gonna anyway and it’s no use harassing seniors over something so insignificant, might as well endorse it and give it boundaries you can live with.
