A couple - mostly books by Neil Stephenson, can easily take me a few months to get through, because they're very complicated books. Stephen Hawking's "A brief history of time" I had to stop after the first chapter and do a bunch of google searches for specific words to understand. I re-read that chapter a couple of times until the information clicked for me, and that took me a total of two months. Just to get through one chapter of one book. But when you're learning about Quantum Physics for the first time in your life and you don't have a background involving complex mathematics, it's to be expected.
Anyway - if you're not needing to actually read five books a month and just want to line something up for when you finish the one you're on, why not just take out one book, and a second one when you're halfway through the first?

I am not reading five books a day. I don’t think anyone is.
People are limited to five books a month.
The problem is that the entire county is limited to 5 books a day. So if five people check out one book before 9 am, no one else in the entire county can check out a book or movie on Hoopla that day! That seems like a low amount of books available when there are 5 separate library buildings in the county.
There are more than 100,000 people in the county but those 100,000 people can only check out 5 Hoopla books in a day - which means that 99,995 people cannot use it. That is 5 books - not 500,000.
