Metropolitan Library (OK) seems to be restricted to in-person applications, but I don't see that noted on tubemonkey's very useful lists. Or am I missing something?
https://www.metrolibrary.org/about-us/accounts Live outside our service area? You can obtain an annual fee account for $70 per year which is less than the average taxpayer in our service area pays in property taxes that go to the Metropolitan Library System each year. Even better, each member of your household can use the account. Using our*library value calculator, you can quickly see just what a bargain $70 is for your entire household. Please visit one of our*locations*if you would like to apply for an Annual Fee Account. |

Fbone, thanks! They responded _very_ quickly.
Also, Stark Library in Ohio did not have a procedure online, but they responded to email as follows: Hello,
A Stark Library online account is available to non-Ohio residents for a $30 annual fee. To apply, send the following information to ecard@starklibrary.org: Full name (including middle name) Physical address Telephone number Birth date Email address You will receive a barcode via email from the library with instructions on paying the $30 fee. Thank you for your interest in Stark Library. |

My Brooklyn library card was cancelled March 31st. The friendship was good while it lasted. <sob>
Now, I'm in a new satisfying relationship with Metropolitan. |

This is the best deal in the U.S. as far as I'm concerned. The waiting lists are much shorter than the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Hennepin Library of Minnesota and the NYPL. When you recommend a book to the Metropolitan Library, they are more likely to order it within a few months than any other ebook library we've used. Even though Loren Estleman is a writer who is not well known or overly popular these days, the librarians at ML are a lot smarter than the public, and I'm grateful for that.

OK, forget waiting for my Brooklyn expiration in May. I decided to sign up now. They were really quick to reply to my email, and also reply back when I sent them the information.

Darn! I forgot that my son lives in Brooklyn. It wouldn't even be cheating, I'm the guarantor on his apartment, so my name's on the lease! Now I just need his help in signing up (looks like they actually use location when you request an account).

Unless there has been a recent change, BPL requires in-person activation of a library card, photo ID, and proof of address (like a utility bill).
