As a verb, to check out library books that one has [no interest] in reading so as to create a false [impression] of demand. From the novella Bellwether, by Connie Willis, where the protagonist routinely checks out copies of classic literature that she has already read, and frequently owns, after finding that the library was discarding copies of Dickens because of a lack of [circulation]. Similar to phyrangulation/freeping, but offline.
