#and the librarians are like “why not six more?” and i think that's very based of them (OP's very correct tag)
#the librarians don't mind when you take many books?#I'm always a touch worried when I go to the counter with yet another stack of books that reaches my chin (tags from @lotus-ignis)
I know you're not the only one wondering this so: Nope! We don't mind! High circ stats - aka, people checking out things - is how we prove we're useful and worthy of funding.
Anyway, if we did want to slow folks down, libraries are very capable of setting a limit on the number of books people can check out at one time (ours is 50). Most modern systems will automatically stop you if you try to check out over the limit, so if that hasn't happened? Keep going. You can do it. We believe in you. (Don't worry about getting judged if you hit the limit, either. If that happens while a librarian is helping you, they will simply let you know with a knowing nod. Who among us has not been there...)
