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.

Thanks BMB,
I'm researching today, off and on, to see which libraries I might get a membership for a fee, and if I have to go there in person. That's the deal-breaker for me.
It's a huge job finding one that has the selection of books I would like to be able to check-out
but as I mentioned somewhere, I am moving back to my home-town in Spring, if all goes as planned, and I will just renew my card then
Thank you again for your input!! Denise
