Nope. No such thing in the US. In fact, the libraries are legally barred from reporting your borrowing record to anyone but you (in the absence of a court order, that is). Whether that restriction extends to aggregate borrowing or not is a different question. My impression is that U.S. libraries are generally extremely sensitive about the privacy of their patrons.
