Blood donors in Australia, and probably other countries, are not
paid
for their platelets. Other than a cuppa and a bickie.
This idea encourages donors back with a book club held after each
drain session.
The setting is right: you're supposed to sit around for a while after
your
donation
before getting back into your car, or back to the nuclear
plant.
Also, the timeframe is right: regular donors should take at least a
month or two between visits. Plenty of time to devour the next
book.
Vampire novels not encouraged.

Disturbingly sensible and practical … [+] |

Excellent idea [+]
I presume that the process could operate on a
reasonable amount of govt sponsored book
loaning, with minor investment or donation by a
generous publisher, and the redundant books,
once they have been around a few donor centers,
could be recycled in a local Library. |

I note that a similar approach, albeit with free
access to a different type of literature, and less
donor interaction, doesn't seem to have worked
to boost uptake for male sperm donation. |

Sounds like a good plan. + |

There are uncomfortably-high numbers of people who never read or buy books; what can you use to incentivise them? |
|
| |
The selfless giving of blood. |
|
| |
Perhaps free internet access during and after the
procedure, but then again this is already possible in
many libraries. |

Some people (a minority) are lightheaded. Maybe an amateur art analysis club -- "Man, that totally looks like a huge bag of Doritos" |
