This is off topic because it's about my local public library, but since you're all 
librarians, I wanted your take on it.
Our public library -- probably as a cost cutting measure -- has decided that when a 
patron comes to pick up a book that is being held, they can retrieve it themselves 
from a row of shelves that is in the general part of the library. I went today to 
pick up I book I was having held for me, and saw that right next to my book was a 
book being held from someone in my Moms' club. (we both have names starting with 
DAV).
While 99% of the time, I don't think anyone really cares who sees what they're 
reading, it occurred to me this is a violation of the Library Bill of Rights. 
Do the rest of you see it this way? What would you do if you're local library 
decided to use this system?
