But as more people ditch printed books in favor of e-books that can be downloaded directly to a computer, the rules are changing.
As of Monday, HarperCollins, publisher of authors such as Anne Rice, Sarah Palin and Michael Crichton, will not allow its e-books to be checked out from a library more than 26 times.
After that, the license on the e-book will expire and libraries will have to decide whether to buy a new one.
