Purpose of "due date stamp" is to remind the users to return the book.
If a library is using automated circulation module, then reminders are sent to the users automatically. Hence, due date stamps are not required.
Respected Mem,

You are right for this moment, but I think It'll be a west of paper, money & time to send paper reminder.

When, reader borrow the book, counter person stamping for due date on book, Reader reads the date & consider it.

if you are not stamping this time, he may not be reminder him/herself to return the book.

and if your paper reminder may not reach to reader.

As I thought I've written it.

YOU HAVE PREVILAGE TO GUIDE OR ADVICE ME.

Thank you,
Maulik Gandhi
Automated/ computerised circulation modules have list of members along with their e-mails. Reminders are automatically sent by e-mail. Second and third reminders are also sent by e-mail. The text of the second and third reminders can be changed. In academic/ corporate libraries, copy of second reminder can be sent to the department head/member's senior. Copy of the third reminder can go to the accounts section indicating to deduct the cost of the book from the user's salary. Of course - such decisions have to be taken and the users should be aware of the rules.

Even if no copumterised circulation system is followed, computers are used in all libraries. Reminders by e-mails can help to maintain the statistics of the defaulters. It can be done at a later date. The rush at the counter can be handled if due date stamp is avoided.
Goog Morning Mem,
You are greatful and I'm very much satisfied from your answer.

Really I'm agree with you on above statements. If you want to handle the rush at the counter, you must have to follow the rule for automation.

thank you.

Management needs results. If one has proper documented reports/ statistics -- circulation work load, staff available, number of defaulters, etc. along with possible alternatives then the best possible option can be selected.

Management person can be convinced with well documented reports/statistics and suitable alternatives suggested. Alternatives should be analysed with reference to staff time, cost involved and benefits gained (improved service to users). Decisions once taken, should be part of the library policy.

Many libraries do not have written library policies (e.g. collection development policy).
