The Geothe Institut has a large collection of German language eBooks for borrowing, with some English sprinkled in:
Anyone with permanent residence outside Germany can use our eLibrary. Here’s an English title: https://www.onleihe.de/goethe-instit...0-0-0-0-0.html |

Hi there,
I see from previous posts in this thread that some people have managed to sign up for a Metropolitan Library non-resident card, including those outside the US. I’m outside the US and when I emailed them with an application back in the summer, they said they were currently reviewing whether to continue offering non-resident access to international users. They said they would let me know when a decision has been made, but I’ve not heard back since. I checked in on the chat but no updates from that either. I was just wondering if anyone else had heard anything about this, or been able to renew their Metro access from overseas? Thanks! |

I'm trying to sign up for a non-resident Metropolitan card from Virginia, and the answer was that I can have one this year, but they're going to restrict them to Oklahoma residents only next year.

I wonder if that means this calendar year? I'm interested, but not until later in the year.

Back in April, when I got my card from Metropolitan, this was in their response:

Thanks everyone for your updates about Metropolitan Library access.
I’m sad it seems I won’t be able to join as an international non-resident from what others have heard (as their Libby collection looks amazing) but at least I won’t be holding my breath waiting for a response from them. |

Meanwhile--I was thinking about adding another out-of-state library card, largely because my current libraries have severely restricted the number of holds allowed in OverDrive. I was thinking of Stark Library, but I can't find current info on number of digital loans/holds allowed. Does anyone know? Thanks. |
