Yes; that's why I do it.

Here are the libraries I use most and the size of their ebook collections:
  • Seattle Public Library -- 47,486
  • King County Library -- 24,738
  • Sno-Isle Libraries -- 15,750
  • Pierce County Library -- 13,719
  • Timberland Library -- 9,917

For comparison, here are the collections of a few other popular ones:
  • ClevNet Library -- 46,210
  • Brooklyn Public Library -- 33,952
  • Free Library of Philadelphia -- 13,063

The primary advantage for multiple cards is being on multiple waiting lists. Then when it becomes available at one, I cancel the others. Additionally, some libraries carry books the others don't.
