Once the book is returned isn&#x27;t it enough to record it in aggregate and remove the record from the personal file? Maybe they should change the way they keep records. Or is that a police thing from way back that requires them to keep a record of all the books you have borrowed. In which case I&#x27;m one step ahead as I spent my highschool in the library and almost never checked anything  out. They will never find out all the terrible fantasy and sci-fi novels I read.
