I've heard the same thing from other library systems, too. It felt counter-intuitive at first, but I could definitely see it being true!
Wait... I just envisioned a beautiful system.
Imagine if libraries worked off of V4V incentives.
Every citizen wishing to use the library pays up some Sats. If they return books on time - balance stays the same. If late, sats begin to be donated at a split to the library/other citizen library users with books out on loan. If return early... your balance is now owing some sats to you - which you can then choose to donate or hodl.
Basically like Stacker News. 😳🤯

Fix the money, fix the world.
Some parallels to a deflationary money like Bitcoin is it incentivizes V4V while fiat usually feels punitive.
