I called the library to find out what the library's daily borrowing limit is and they told me that it is 5 books for the entire county. Not five books per patron - five for the county!!

According to Wikipedia, the population of the county was 129,752 in 2020. Assuming that 25% of the people have library cards, that would be 32,500 people having access to just five books a day on Hoopla.

Use it all the time. 5 books for the "county" is incorrect.
