About this seal
A library stamp marks the ownership of books and materials in a collection. Schools, public libraries and private collectors press it onto title pages and edges to deter loss and identify the holding institution. The common round design carries the library or owner name on the top arc, a department or location on the bottom, and PROPERTY OF or an EX LIBRIS mark in the center.
Common uses
- Marking ownership on books and periodicals
- Cataloguing archives and collection materials
