hte limit was 10 books per library patron, when i was a child at the 
brooklyn public library. or possibly 10 books at a time, and no problem if 
10 today and 10 tomorrow.  although since we went once a week, it was no 
problem to return all 10.

and the helpful librarians seemed to have read every book, so if i said, i 
read these three and this was good because ... and this was good because ... 
and this was almost good except taht ... happend:  the librarian could help 
me find a new book!!!  and now it seems there are e-resources that do this, 
but there's nothing like a real person who has read everything and can help 
a little girl find it on the shelf :)
