The Overdue Book Card
Slip an old-school checkout card into their comfort book with the ask.
“This one's been overdue for a HOCO date. Checked out by: you.”
Print a vintage library due-date card, the kind with the lined stamp grid, and slot it into a paper pocket taped inside the back cover of a book they love. Fill the card in by hand so it reads like the book has been waiting to be checked out for hoco. Leave it on their desk or in their bag for them to find on their own.
