Amen. My own local library system in Norfolk doesn't even offer ebooks. The one in Virginia Beach did, although they too used Overdrive and that was mostly audiobooks. But right about the time I got my first eReader, Va. Beach decided they were going to charge nonresidents $35 a year for a library card. Norfolk gives one free to all Virginia residents, and it's well out of my way to go to the Beach library now, so I let my card expire - wasn't going to shell out $35 a year for something I rarely used.
