Or more than one of these. FLP is one example of a library that ended its sale of nonresident cards; they also cut the number of Hoopla checkouts from ten to four. And still couldn’t make it work. My local library limits it to six Hoopla checkouts per month which is ample for my purposes - in fact, I suspect checkout limits are my friend. They keep the heavy readers of genre fiction or children’s books from crashing the system and I can only listen to a few audiobooks a month anyway.

Are there really so many people, though, outside of this bunch of reading fanatics, who actively seek out multiple libraries and overwhelm them by excessive borrowing?

As the number of nonresident options becomes fewer and the price for the cards goes up, only the heaviest users will continue to use that option.
