One of the libraries I used to go to charge $1 if you wanted to borrow a popular new release, and they charged to borrow VHS movies as well. I think it was $1 for three days, and $3 for a week. I borrowed these items on occasion, I figured the money was going to buy more materials for the library. I wouldn't mind paying a small fee to borrow an ebook.
