Sure it does.  Every library I have ever been to has eventually come after
me for my overdue books.  Whether or not this information can be
used, or in what manner it can be used is controlled, but libraries do
at some time, know what books you have.  I would also be willing to bet
that most computerized library systems keep track of your old
records, at least until that particular database record is 'overwritten'
by a new borrower/book record.  Perhaps someone with more knowledge
of computerization in library book checkout could write a comp.risks
article. (?)
