Phew! I'm glad we agree that most books should be borrowable. I'm 
inclined to note that this is a long way from your original answer to 
Will's question at the beginning of this thread, which I did not like at 
all:

If people want to mark individual books with a "please leave this book 
at noisebridge" stamp or sticker, I have no objection to that. I just 
hope that the understanding for unmarked books in our library remains 
that they are borrowable by default.
