You are brilliant! You can't join any library in my state for free. However it turns out that part of my property tax does fund the county library district. Therefore I am able to join any library in the county for free. I had no idea!
Thus I am able to join all of the cities in the consortium. I am back on Overdrive now after signing up for a card with the city next door. Soooo relieved!
I had a wishlist of hundreds of books that I had compiled over years. I am so thankful that I kept a separate list that I periodically updated.
Beware! Your city could be next! Don't be complacent like me even if you live in a major city and your library has been with Overdrivs from the beginning!
I appreciate the ideas. Thanks to everyone! If anyone has any tips on how to use the 3M system better that would be great too. It will be interesting to see how fast my library grows their 3M system. I would much rather patronize my own suburb, but since my taxes also go towards the county system then I feel better.
