Well, I confess, I say that a lot to my kids at the
library. But that is because we are always at our
limit of 25 books on our library cards. We have 2
cards. They have to bring some back in order to check
more out...

Hi, Heather --

I don't know how "suggestable" your librarians are, but I've used a
library system where "educators" could check out larger numbers of books
with longer renewal privileges. I wonder if you could get your
librarians to create a policy loophole like that?

I want to kick myself for suggesting that some people should get more
privileges at the library than others, but it seems to me that you need
a higher limit. (Or need to get more cards for the youngest kids. But
then you'd probably need a shopping cart to get all the books home.) :-)

We get 30 books a card---but with four cards, that's a pretty hefty haul!

We get up to 60 items. But I just renewed my non-resident membership. It
went from $125/year to $150/year. When I first joined that library, it was
only $50. That was only about 9 years ago.
