  Primarily, yes. But also most libraries run a book through the check-in system when they pick it up. This marks in the system when and where the last time a book was touched was, which can be useful if it were to go missing. But mostly it’s so it doesn’t go in the wrong spot.

    Who is running check on on the return cart? Who has time for that?

    These a check in box in the back room. If it isn’t in there, and it has a label then It’s assumed to be part of the connection.

    Do they track the number of times a specific title was checked out?

    I’m sure that info is pretty valuable to track reading trends.
