Perhaps information about the ship - whatever the Steward decides is cool to share. Answers to any frequently asked questions about the ship ("What is that thumping sound?" "Why did the lights just dim?"), the journey, or whatever - nothing secret or sensitive, but helpful or entertaining things. A guest book or public passenger log/graffiti wall. Menus. Bio of the ship's cat.

True. I just don't see an Interstellar society loaning those out like that. If you're clientele are prone to not bringing that kind of media back, the word would get out, and they wouldn't have much media left. Someone who knows they're not coming back to that World isn't going to worry about being tracked for a holodisc or such, and who is an interstellar murder hobo of sorts probably would swipe it.

Unless there's an Interstellar Library Cop.
