Good to hear! Thanks to MassLNC for sponsoring the development of the
feature :)

As a heads-up, in 2.6 we've added "Library info pages" that will look
roughly like http://stuff.coffeecode.net/schema.org/evergreen/library/BR4 ;
this is where the library links from the copy tables will lead by default,
but we have also added a library setting to force the link to go directly
to the external library URL, if you prefer.

The theoretical advantage to the internal library page is that all of the
data on that page is encoded using schema.org structured data, so that
search engines can potentially do intelligent things like tell a user "Oh,
you looked for *Dance of Dragons*, and you're in Rome, Georgia; there's a
copy available at the public library a few miles away from you: here are
the directions, and it's open until 9:00 PM tonight--or you can buy it from
our e-book store".
