Yup--same thing happened to me. I applied for a DC library card on their website--clearly indicating I was a non-resident. (Per their web site, they allow non-resident cards for a fee but didn't specify the fee.) They sent me a valid card number via e-mail right after I applied, but didn't mention anything about a fee.
About a month and a half or so later, my card stopped working, so I gave them a call, figuring they could tell me what their fee was and how I could pay it. At that time, they simply reactivated my card and still didn't charge a fee.
A few months after that my card number stopped working again--I'm assuming they went through their database at that time and de-activated all non-resident cards. I haven't called back, as now I have more than enough libraries that I can access--being a resident of California does have certain advantages!
