In the US, can you check out 100 books from a library at the same time? Why?
[Not US but] my local library service allows 300 simultaneous book loans, when I asked about why that number was chosen they said it’s so that people are not practically limited in borrowing. Given that typical loan period is 28 days even with 5 renewals you’re still looking at slightly more than 2 books read per day so that seems a reasonable allowance.
