I used to work at a library for many years. One of my jobs was to put this tape along the inner binding that was magnetized. When a patron brought the books to the counter to check out we would rub them on this metal plate to demagnetize them.
When bringing them back in we’d run a magnet along the binding to reactive it.
I think they have some sort of magnet, I used to work in my high school library and before we checked books out to other students we had to rub the binding against some metal… demagnetizing block? Thing?
Edit: after reading the comments I finally understand what I was even doing, 9 years after the fact 😌
