I'm sad that this problem could be so easily addressed if there was a sane digital alternative to borrowing print books. All of the (legal) alternatives I've seen have been absolute pains to deal with, and some of them are too expensive for non-institutional libraries to carry. If low-demand books could be kept in circulation digitally, you wouldn't have all of these costs attached to storing books, and this problem would go away.
