Some peaple would definitifly abuse that.
One of the problem with library, is that we've tried to emulate the "paper book". Rather than going for solutions that would work better for e-books.
I would go for something like : as member of the library, i can cheek out x book at a current time, and checkout x book per month. Guess the mess is some specific software / format for library book. Something to enforce the date thingy, without making a mess of the user's life.
