My "local" ebook library isn't my local library; it's a state digital consortium to which my local library belongs.
I don't think there's a real reason such consortia need to be city/county/state geographic in theme, i.e. I don't know if there isn't a real reason that libraries could develop consortia that serve, say, remote rural areas, encourage rural libraries to join, etc. Or the same for, say, community colleges or state universities. But the basic building blocks of public libraries are local because they are funded by local taxes.
