Making pretty tables in the forums is not easy.

It is. When I started this thread, I visited each library's website to compile the data and manually created these lists. I didn't compile the data using someone else's work.
How the thread is updated is completely up to Fbone, since he now has ownership of it. |

Why is Brooklyn Public Library in the list? It's not available to anyone outside of NY.

I hadn't got around to adding the notes on my test forum post. Getting the columns to align is tricky. I will be updating this. |

Just adding another one to the pile. Prince William County, Virginia, allows non-resident library cards as well:
https://www.pwcva.gov/department/lib...t-library-card https://www.pwcva.gov/assets/2023-07...PVD5-25-23.pdf With that said, the yearly price of $113.00 is pretty ridiculous, given that the adjacent Fairfax County fee is only $27/yr. I'm planning to get one soon as a legal resident, so I will compare the OverDrive selection against Fairfax County's to gauge possible value. I think PWC allows access to Hoopla, so that might be an advantage. |

Brooklyn Public Library no longer allows out of stare library cards. So why its it in the list?
The Wiki is wrong and Brooklyn should not be included. |

But they have to be in NY. So if you are 13-21 and you don't live in NY, you cannot get a Brooklyn Public Library card. So what's the point of listing it?
