- Every library should be closed for a fortnight in April, or May for the annual stock-taking. Each person in charge of any section of the library should then be required to submit to the Headmaster/Principal a statement showing the number of books in stock at the time of the last stock-taking, the number since received, and the number remaining in stock. If any books have been damaged, lost or not returned, he should give full details about them. On receipt of these statements the Headmaster/Principal should submit to his controlling officer a report on the results of the stock-taking. Should the annual stock-taking be omitted by the Headmaster/Principal, or should he omit to delegate his responsibility in the manner indicated in Article 439 he will be held responsible for all losses which have taken place since the previous stock taking.(D.P.I.'s order, dated the 19th June 1929, in file 4L-3-29.)
