Sadly, library and book clubs are already captured by the search-review-rating pipeline. The library won't take a book unless it has many high ratings and "professional" reviews. If the library doesn't take it, the book club won't either.

Yah, actual reader friend networks and word of mouth recommendations is the oldest (and best) but that relies on a node person in that network finding the book ... which takes you back to algorithms and corporate platforms
