Just wondering if any States allow for that "special" privilege?
I did write to California Libraries main site asking. But thought I may get an answer here from someone that has been able to do this. I will let you know what I find out in case there are any others maybe seeking the same kind of info  |
IT is completely state dependent. There are states that take out of state applications (there is always a fee for these cards but they often have good selections). In Texas they just started letting us get cards at other libraries. Unfortunately, in some cases you have to DRIVE THERE and apply in person and the card is then good for a year. You'll have to ask your local library. They can probably tell you how to cross-apply at other libraries.
But if your card expired and you've moved, you usually have to show proof of address to get that card renewed or fill out a different "out of area" type of card. In Texas I can check out fewer books in the "out of area" libraries than I can in my own.
