So far NYPL is only one that allows online sign up and you don't have to go in.
If anyone finds any others that you don't have to go in, let us know!!

The Salt Lake County library offers non-resident library cards for $80/year. I haven't signed up for one yet, but I did e-mail them a month ago or so to find out more. They responded to me saying that I could send in a check and a copy of my driver's license and they'd mail me a card (same as NYPL does). You might want to e-mail them to verify.

They do have a fairly decent collection, but it's not as large as NYPL.
