Greg112 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have at least 6 cards that are valid. Once you have an invoice from the cg the libraries are willing to give you a card. After that you can just keep renewing them. I am talking about Houston, Phoenix and Tucson. I had a Maricopa County (Phoenix) card and I really liked that libary system. But they say to renew I've got to come in with proof of current residence and we're not there this year. Is there a way to get an exemption?

SWharton Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Give them a call, explain you are away and see what happens. I would try it at least twice, get a different person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRum Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I looked up the Chicago Public Library, the New York City public library and the Los Angeles public library. All say you need to submit proof of residency to get a library card. Are you sure about dropping in on any library? https://obr.chipublib.org/obr/ Put in your email and any Chicago address and they email you a E Card that can be used on OverDrive ;-) I've always been a tinkerer and a fixer... So what better way to stay active in my retirement than to buy an RV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holstein13 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 https://obr.chipublib.org/obr/ Put in your email and any Chicago address and they email you a E Card that can be used on OverDrive ;-) Thank you KRum. That worked. Now I have to find out how to make a contribution to the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FULLTIMEWANABE Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 FWIW: Last year Nov, Sarasota Fla obtained an annual library card, and in years gone by managed to get library card for Las Vegas when staying for a while at the Oasis - not sure on any changes to the latter one limiting obtaining.

GR "Scott" Cundiff Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Last year we got a free membership to Scribd because my four devotional books were included in their library. My wife, Jackie, really liked it. Once that expired we held off because of the $9 a month price, hoping to find something better. And we did...they don't advertise it but Scribd offers an annual rate of $48. It is well hidden on their website but I finally found a link to it on another website: https://www.scribd.com/archive/plans Once you join, check out my four books of daily devotionals: Coffee Break Devotionals.

morninghill Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Chicago Public Library is nice... You can register online for an account with any Chicago address... Many thanks - I now have my CPL Ecard for Overdrive and Zinio, a better selection of ebooks and magazines than my local library. And the price is right ($0).
