For those whose native library is lacking, a paid membership elsewhere is a colossal bargain. My own state library is poor and while some communities purchase additional books for their own patrons, mine does not.

I get it. When you look at what the publishers charge for a single license, $50 doesn't go that far and you have to assume that those who pay for a card are at least relatively heavy users.
I borrow a lot of audiobooks through their Hoopla portal.
Still, if FLP wanted to cut back on the wait times, the obvious change would be to limit borrows to two weeks and not three.
