The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.

    Wait is this trying to suggest just renting is the same thing as a library?

    The benifit of a library is you share the cost as a group and get some fractional use of it. Like books that you only really need access to for small amount of time.

    Its not the same as say Amazon owning the book rental space and choosing, without any choice on your point, on what books are there or who could get access to them.
