I was an out of state card holder for FLP, and my card expired in 9/20 and I was unable to renew it.

There was also the Singapore (not a US library) that closed some years ago to out of country card holders.

I am currently a member of the Brooklyn Public Library (NY) and Orange County Library System (Florida). The OCLS is rather nice, they have several different sources (Overdrive, FReading, Axis, ...). BPL let's me Recommend, OCLS does not.

I would classify my card as a heavy reader card. I get books for my mom, and she goes through a book every other day.

I would tend to agree that the cards are not money generators. Although the libraries do have fund drives, so maybe they get some additional funds from card holder donations?
