What jhowell said.
A lot of the time, public libraries in the US will give a free card to any state resident who shows up in person, even if from a distant community. And, a lot of the time, they won't.
Many (but way less than half) of US libraries will give out of state borrowers a card, for a fee, if you show up in person. What's different about the specific public libraries that jhowell mentions is that you don't need to pay the fee in person.
There are US military libraries which grant borrowing privileges to the families of military members. Some have more expansive definitions of family member than others.
I have less knowledge of the situation outside of the US.
