Is it fair to say that libraries are prisons for books?

No. They're more like brothels. People come in, look for something they want. If they like it, they pick it, and take it. If not, then too bad for them.
Some people might want to take the stuff home, but they can never take them forever.

I like this one, unjust as it is, but not entirely false. Certainly money should be involved- libraries are more like enormous bank safes (no no no) or rather ethereal blood banks. To write well enough's ..to give a pint....

Libraries are ‘books for prison’, basically.
