Seeking to understand why it is acceptable to buy a book from a local book store and retain the right to keep it in a personal library at home and share freely or sell it or even give it away and why it is also possible to “check out” books from a public library and have full access to the information they contain at no cost while some information is only available to those with the financial means to obtain. Was hoping the article would explain how the later becomes the former and what is involved in the decision? Specifically, what has to occur for a book that is on, for example, the current best seller list to become available at a local library? “How does a book become a library book?”

How are the principles of intellectual freedom and intellectual property rights balanced with the need to avoid censorship? How does the public library system ensure information is equally available to all members of the “public” rather than favoring the elite with the financial means to obtain sooner? Thank you for considering my questions.
