I know many countries where they do have entry fee (not property tax - a formal library entry/membership fee). In US, it is, as Xenophon said, not an entry fee, but a valid photo id proving that you live in the service area. So if your local library does not have a tie-up with overdrive/netlibrary to checkout ebooks, you are out of luck(other than a few online versions - as documented at the mobile read wiki)
