Your proposal seems reasonable and a fair way to prevent a few bad actor patrons from stealing the whole library and then claiming no repercussions.

I assume there is still a limit on the number of books you can have out. If you never bring one back you can't keep taking out more.

I’m sure another way would be to start looking into accounts that repeatedly check out books and fail to return them.
