Let it go, please. Why can’t it be both, letting context decide? And that’s aside from the “BPL” appearing within a quote from the Brooklyn Public Library! Perhaps you should take it up with them? |

A few libraries have changed their policies regarding non-resident cards lately. It seems July 1st is a common start date and as such we lost Austin TX and Baton Rouge.

I added three more libraries to the list. All have small collections.
Virginia Beach and Tallahassee have easy online applications. Omaha you need to call to complete the process. When I hear back from the others, I'll see what else can be added |

Thanks again, Fbone. The ecard address worked this time and Annette Woods responded quickly. So glad to have an alternative for when my Metro card expires.

I think there is a great deal of value in knowing that a library offers cards (especially without requiring an in-person visit) to people who reside outside of the normal service area of the library, even if there is some other residency restriction (like "same state"). |

Cincinnati, Ohio has been added to the list. I contacted a librarian there and he said a card can be obtained remotely with full access to the digital library.
