See also my other followup to the thread.

No library that I know of, and I worked for a very large library
system (150 branches) and for a library computer systems vendor,
_ever_ keeps records, logs, or lists of any type of material that
a patron gets.

The other day, I went into my library with my wifes card to see what
she had out, in case any was overdue.  They scanned the barcode,
and would tell me that she had 3 items out, and when they were due,
but would not tell me the titles.

Most libraries will vehemently protect the privacy of their patrons.
