When deemed by the Finance and Administration Cabinet to be desirable or necessary, consistent with all relevant factors concerning acquisition and use, all public books of the state shall be designated as public property by placing on the title page, “Property of the State of Kentucky,” and the binder shall press those words on the cover. The words, “Property of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,” may also be used for such purpose. Each officer who is charged with possession of books acquired under this chapter shall write or otherwise designate in or on each book the name of the office to which it belongs, if such books are to be retained permanently by such officer or his agency.
