If the library truly "owns" the book, then the library should 
have the right to digitize it.  The snag is in the word "owns" 
because most libraries don't own a book.  They own a copy of it 
or, if a special collection item, the ownership is covered by a 
deed of gift that may leave copyright with the donor.

I'm not sure that libraries truly "own" very many books.
