They were losing money even at $50, by my calculations, and even more so obviously on the free cards. I hope those who’ve been lucky enough to be grandfathered are entitled to the privilege. I think there’s a lot of abuse of library cards, frankly.

When my card expired in 2019, I called the library and managed to get my card renewed. I'll try the same thing again when it expires. I won't get my hopes up.
