Answer
It seems you are looking for the lead()
window function which allows you to access columns from the “next” row(s)
select owner, book, "date" as pick_date, lead(date) over (partition by book order by "date") as return_date from the_table order by book, "date"
Talking about the “next” row only makes sense if the rows are sorted, that’s why the order by "date"
is needed in the definition of the window
