Only because there's no way for bots to exploit the system since it's in the physical world.
If thousands of robots suddenly showed up at your local library and started hogging all the books so nobody else could use the library, you can be sure a library card would be required to even enter.

The overwhelming majority of librarians view libraries as a service for everyone, including the homeless[0].
