I wonder if a "DVD-era Netflix-style" library could be a thing? i.e. a paid-postage return envelope included when you check a book out. (I'm guessing the physical size of a DVD is the only thing that made that trick viable for netflix)

My thinking with the post office is that they would only work with the local library system, and to keep costs down even more could even just collect the books at the post office and someone from the library would collect them. Lots of logistics and not very likely but I know it would remove my primary impediment to using the local library.
