Mine allows 10 borrows, 10 holds. When they first started, it was 5, but within the year, they changed it to 10. I don't really see any point in it being larger than that. You just return what you read and you have another slot. Children get their own cards - even toddlers - at my library as they are all attached to the adult's card.

I didn't have a library card until I was in my mid-20s when Hennepin County went to electronic checkouts.
