My attempts were from several hours before that announced downtime.
The thing is that there is a completely different login screen now.
I went to the signup page to see what was required for a new account, and it now says that non-residents can get account, but only access it from a terminla in one of the library branches (or something similar). I don't recall that limitation was around when I signed up, so there might be a policy change.
I think Free Library Philadelphia still accepts non-resident meberships for a $35 yearly fee. Maybe an alternative? I have borrowed quite a few books there in the year I have been a member.
