At least in EU, private book/media rental is not legal without special licensing from copyright holders, while public libraries have exception for this.

In the US, there's not much demand for media rental any longer (RIP Blockbuster)--which has been largely replaced by licenced media streaming--but there are certainly private libraries of various types.
