On that basis, Brooklyn looks better. But, of course, there are other factors such as:
1) How long you have to wait on hold before books you are interested in are available.
2) How easy is it to get the non-resident library card

yes, and also do they have most of my fave authors. I am constantly finding more authors I like though
I've found most of those by taking lists from Cozy Mysteries, and entering the different author's name in the search.
That's quite a difference in "how many" books are available though. I will get to a search of Brookly at some point. I'm just so glad they have libraries that let you join by paying what I think are reasonable fees (again, if there enough books that are "my kind of books"
)
I have some options
