I hope this isn't a serious question.

The only possible way it could be more simple is if someone came to your house and did it for you.

Interestingly, most people on this forum admit to stripping DRM the moment an infected book hits their hard drive. The reason given is to ensure said book will be readable by any future hardware they may own. BUT ... any actual mention of converting a book gets everyones panties all in a knot. "OMG Horrors! You want me to do what? Convert an epub to a mobi? But I have ETHICS!!!"

This whole thing is really a non-issue. Even if you don't *gasp* delete the libary book by the due date the world is not going to come to an end. The next person on the list still gets the book. The only way this scenario would hurt anyone is if the borrower decided to pass out the book on the darknet. Oh, wait ... if a person is using the darknet they wouldn't need to bother with the library!!
