    Sure, but isn’t there usually a limit of like 20 or 30 books at a time? And you can’t take out more books after that without a) returning some of the old ones or b) admitting some of them are lost and paying to replace them.

      From reading the article, it sounds like multiple people were involved. So, for example, I take out 20 books, then you take out 20 books, and then another person takes out 20 books. Between the 3 of us, we’ve now taken 60 books and not hit any limits.

      Using this system, a small group of extremists could remove material from the library that they have decided is objectionable regardless of whether everyone else in their community thinks it is.
