The Darien Library is indeed planning on offering a service to our users whereby they can opt to have material "drop shipped" to their homes for a small fee. They could then either keep it and be charged the discounted price for the book or return it to the library where it would be cataloged and placed into circulation. The material would not be processed when it arrives at the user's home (no bar-codes, etc). Since we'll know where the outstanding material is, we'll be able to bill those users for unreturned material.
Thanks for the clarification, John. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the idea that a brand new, already processed book would show up on your doorstep and you'd decide to keep it.
