In Cincinnati there is a general purpose, private library: http://www.mercantilelibrary.com/ http://www.mercantilelibrary.com/ It's not regulated - not sure about the profit part. It is hugely dwarfed by the public library, but it is still quite popular. They have a smaller collection, but the percentage of the items that circulate is supposedly astronomical. It only has a 10,000 year lease though, so I suppose it's only temporary.
