Here, in the US, we run the full gamut from "no out of area lending" to VERY high priced "out of area lending".
In the state of Pennsylvania we have a program where, if you have a library card from one participating Penn. library you can get a free card from another participating Penn. library.
As the libraries receive some of it's money from the state of Pennsylvania this works out well.
How? Well the more library subscribers they have, the more money they receive. The more money they receive the longer they can stay open (in business).
