Hum, not really.  The Saginaw Public Libraries in Michigan limit patrons to
30 items.  You can only have up to 5 of certain items also (movies, cd's,
tapes, books on tape).  So you could have 15 books, 3 movies, 2 books on tape
and 5 music cd's or any other combination.  Our elementary school libraries
in my district limit the kids to 1 book per library visit.  I, generally, let
the students check out up to 10 items.  I have only a few kids who have that
many things out at once.  I have a few avid readers who have a few more than
10 items out.
