I just had a situation I'm really uncomfortable with.  As a librarian, my patron's privacy is extremely important to me.

I have a MeLCat I'm returning that has one of the tri-fold bands, and the way it's folded (and the way it was received), shows that patron's name and barcode in plain sight (which isn't the problem, although I do detest the tri-fold bands!).  The problem is that the library is a no-pack library.  With the book being a no-pack, it also displays the title and partial content of the book.  Through delivery (both coming and returning), the patron's name and book/subject requested are out in the open for any of the delivery people, book sorters etc to see.

How would/do other librarian's handle a situation such as this?
