"I hereby apply for the privilege to check out materials...." is that good enough for you or are you still skeptical ? |
It's not pessimism; it's based on reality. Their statement was ambiguous. All I wanted was confirmation that they allowed digital checkouts and
blueinfj provided that.
As to whether a library will take your out-of-state money and then require you to show up in person to check out books - it does happen.
Hennepin County Library offers a non-resident card for $60 and won't allow checkout of downloadable content. So here's a library that will take your money and then require you to show up in person.

Nonresident fee cards
Individuals who are not Minnesota residents or Minnesota residents whose public library is not a member of one of the regional public library systems may obtain a Hennepin County Library card for an annual fee ($60). Fee-based cards allow patrons to borrow physical materials, but do not allow the checkout of downloadable content or remote access to subscription databases. Read more.
