My local library lets you check out books in 3-week intervals. They let you renew each checkout twice, for a total of 9-weeks. They email you when a book is coming up due, so you can click to renew it. They have a drop-off bin (like a bank's night deposit), so you can turn in your books safely if you can't get there during regular hours. If that's not reasonable or convenient enough, then sheesh... just buy books. But if anyone's life or behavioral habits are so chaotic that buying retail books is cheaper than library borrowing, then I have to wonder how they manage to survive adulthood in general.
