Personally I would suggest you talk with the librarian.  Once they see
the exemption they might be willing to put together a volunteer corp
at the library itself.  Way easier to scan books at the source, and
with lots of books if there was a scan error someone could just go to
the shelf because it's unlikely the book was checked out in the
meantime.
