As for Metropolitan, I had no idea what library that was until the library was actually mentioned. |

I just asked Metropolitan whether I could renew my card expiring in March 2025 to run until March 2026. I can't.

For what it may be worth, looking at the 2nd message in this thread, it would appear that when posters refer to Metropolitan, they are referring to:

When I think of world-class metropoles my thoughts always gravitate towards Oklahoma.

The name is Metropolitan. The name in the URL is metrolibrary. What difference does the physical location make for someone interested in an out-of-state card?

I checked the expiration date on my Metropolitan library card. I'm only good until 1/6/25. Bummer.
