Nope. But you can borrow more books at one time then you can read. Can you read 10 books in 2 or 3 weeks? The way I look at it, if you are unable to do the checkout, then you should not get the book. Hold is there to manage what you've put on hold. I use it and it works. I do not auto-checkout. One library I have access to allows 20 loans. So if I was to use auto-checkout, I could easily get swamped if enough come in around the same time.
