Another thanks to Fbone. Based on this comparative chart of fiction subcategories, I'm opting for the Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma.

Library -> Metrop. FLP LAPL
Mystery 21358 7261 35752
Science Fiction 7627 2124 14051
Literature 31600 13187 68398
Romance 50068 9267 102526

The Los Angeles Public Library system is the king across the U.S., but does not appear to have memberships for out-of-county residents. It has the deepest count of books in the mystery, SF, and literature genres. The romance books are not my cup of tea, but it reflects what customers seem to want. Anyway, after browsing Metropolitan's Mystery catalog, it is superb for a long time reader of such books. Wait time also seems to be short.
You may also consider Stark County Ohio for $30. They have a very good selection.

Los Angeles Public Library (city, not county) does allow non-resident cards, but you have to get them in person. An LAPL card gives full access to the ebook collection, so it may be worth picking one up if you are in the area for some other reason.

Most of the libraries I have looked at state the same restriction on their website. Some might make an exception and allow you to sign up over the phone but it is hit or miss.
