I was thinking of joining the NYPL for their extensive ebook library.

I emailed NYPL and they confirmed that they welcome overseas members as non-residents provided they send photocopies of ID with the application form.

Only snag is now the payment. They confirm they only take a Dollar Check made out to NYPL and drawn from an American Bank.

My bank offer an "International Bankers Draft" for a hefty fee, but not sure if this would be acceptable.

Has anyone from outside the US successfully joined - if so how did you manage the payment?

Thanks - Rufus.
