High volume of books.

If you think your borrowing habits at the library (or if you're like me, any library) border on the obsessive, you'll have to go some to beat ninety-one year old Louise Brown of Stranraer who is close to making her 25,000th loan from the local Castle Douglas library where she first became a member in 1946.

As BBC News & The Guardian report, Louise has been reading up to twelve books a week, mostly "Mills & Boon romances, war stories and historical dramas" and has never paid a late fee. There can't be many of us who could beat that record!
