In my state, local libraries accepting the state financial subsidy must allow outside-the-service-area Pennsylvanians “
onsite services and materials under the same rules and policies applied to local residents”. Note the word onsite in the last sentence. Paper book borrowing is considered onsite, but Overdrive is not.
As noted in my last link, providing electronic resources to out of area Pennsylvanians is optional. My county, Montgomery, is the only one I know of that historically declines to provide eBook access to in-state outsiders.
