In our library which is a public one We have what is called famaly accounts. These will have multiple active cards tied to them for the famaly member but our curent system didn't have a way to link famaly member so the cards all apear on the one account. I also under stand that for academics (colloges) that a profesor will have his ti's check out books for him/her. So diferent card same account. If your systems has a good patron linking setup (I haven't goten that far in my reserch) that can deal with child A is linked to Mom B and notice go to Mom B, then I don't see a need for multiple active card per account (which causes problems with computer reservation systems anyway)
