my experience with UK libraries is that you can only join your local library ( as defined by post-code) and no others. A physical residency check has to happen before issuing on-line credentials .e. you have to present acceptable proof of address.
One workaround is that if you have friends/relatives in other cities/counties who are willing to share their library accounts....
I used to use both my local UK library + an out of state paid membership of FLP - Free Library Of Philadelphia ( about $50 for one year- sign up online from anywhere in the world ) but I dropped that once I had read all of my wish-list backlog. Dunno if that non USA service is still available.
My UK library continues to grow its epub catalogue albeit 50%+ seems to be in-vogue slutty romance trash. There's a great free app called libby which lets you browse checkout, read, return from any android tablet/phone, and it syncs across multiple devices
