Which I think is fair - a national library is a national resource, and if we believe that books should have a permanent storage place (and most of us do, I think), then I'm OK with them using those stored books to generate some income. I'm sure most authors' heirs would be too! Plus it makes those books available to people other than the favoured few who qualify for a card to enter those libraries and happen to be in the same physical location.
