A man applied for a card from the Beachwood Library and, over two visits, withdrew 100 books. He later posted two videos, one in which he burned all of the books.
My first thought was car dependency. If it’s a 20-minute detour or 45-minute dedicated round trip to stop by the library, you probably don’t go that often. I read a lot as a kid, but I only went to the library maybe every other week. I distinctly remember the limit being 99 books (libraries are mostly run by counties here, so there are a lot of different sets of rules). I never ran into it, but I checked out dozens of books a few times.

My county library was like 8-10, 99-100 is insane…
Yeah, on second thought it might have been a “there are no real rules for this” situation.
