Chicago Public Library cut off reciprocal ebook borrowing several years ago. They said it took too much of the librarians' time to deal with all the issues. And even if I paid as a nonresident, I couldn't get access to ebooks. I got the impression that the librarians were fighting for their lives, and they needed to please their patrons, not people who pay a pittance to gain access. For example, I can join the CPL as a nonresident for $100-I currently pay almost $500 through my property taxes to gain access to my local library.
