book checkout
Temporary tome acquisition
Book checkout is the process of borrowing a book from a library, or the physical location where this transaction occurs: The book checkout line was long on Saturday mornings.
The term also applies to similar systems—hotel library corners, classroom book bins—anywhere materials are temporarily loaned and tracked: The app handles book checkout and returns automatically.
