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.

That just seems to "crazy" to believe; not that I doubt you were told that, but, at least try calling one more time. You will surely get a different employee who will explain the policy much more CLEARLY.... think the person you talked to just not tops in communication.
