    That is super cool, now I can go beyond the three libraries that I already have cards for in Libby.

    Just FYI, if you happen to be a Texas resident with a valid DL or State ID, you can sign up for the Houston Public Library digital only membership, which does include Libby for free, as well as Hoopla and Kanopy.

      My IL library does not have any partners, I believe most of IL is part of one of a few systems rather than partnering like this. I know my small town is on the same system as a nearby city but not the same one as my hometown was about an hour away.
