Y’all must realize “Europe” isn’t one single sort of entity that defines all rules…
In Romania you are required to hand it to a worker to have it checked in and catalogued, you can’t just put it back because they need to know if you went over your holding period or not. You’re not allowed to keep it forever
I think they’re talking about books you’ve read in the library and decided not to check out, not books you’ve already checked out, taken home and are now brining back.
This. In Austria most libraries have a self-scan machine where you have to return your books and the librarians will sort the books back in. Part of the reason for that is that they need to check the condition the books were returned in.

Yea we do put those right back, they don’t keep track of reading sessions per book or anything like that
