The Bodley Club Library was a service similar to The Tabard Inn Library, but focused on libraries where books appeared in blue covers to prevent them from being turned in at Tabard Inn library stations, as public libraries tended to lend the books out free of charge. The Booklovers' Library owned both the Tabard Inn Library and the Bodley Club Library.
