Non-free book jacket and added content services are also an option, of course — and at least unlike Google and Amazon, it's plausible that libraries could insist on contracts (with teeth) that forbid misuse of patron information. It's also a trivial observation that there's a mini-genre of news articles and social media posts telling the tales of prodigal books, returning to their library after years or decades away, usually having gathered nothing but dust.	./cache/galencharlton-com-3162.html	./txt/galencharlton-com-3162.txt
