Do libraries keep in track of all the books youve checked out since day 1?

Question

I checked out a book long ago and returned it. It was a brilliant book, and now I cant remember its name.

Answer 1

Well, if you can believe the "crime movies" that you see, the libraries do keep track of the books you check-out. According to the movies (and also according to newspaper accounts that I have read), the police have gone to libraries and determined the nature of books that suspects have checked-out -- for example, books about poisons -- in order to build a case against someone. But -- whether a library would do the same research for an Average Joe who just wanted to remember a book that they had read a while back may be a different question! It may depend on how "nice" your librarian is. Easiest way to find out -- phone your library and talk to the librarian. And be "charming" when you call. (After all, they are our public servants, right? We pay taxes to pay their salaries.)

Answer 2

Yes they do for that year. But if this is a different year, then no. They only keep track of your books for that particular year.

Answer 3

Probably

Answer 4

yes although they delete the info after a year or so

Answer 5

i think so as long as you have a library card.
