In a library context, how to say "check out" in Spanish?

Question

The term "check out" in libraries connotes a process of adding materials to one's library account either by way of scanning an item's barcode, or by manually filling out the item's catalog card. In any case, I'd like to know what you think about the following terms in Spanish that may best convey this process: "retirar," "sacar,"préstamo". All seem like they will work, but I'm curious as to which one you think is the most natural and succinct. Thanks!
