I tried googling it and it looks like they stopped doing that last year. I could be wrong though

I’ve been kind of keeping an eye out and all the big libraries that have done something similar have had restrictions on the deal that weren’t initially reported. I don’t remember all of them, but an example would be the New York Library had a headline about it that anyone could check out books, but when you read the fine print it was only certain banned books on their list. Lots of stuff like that.

If not them, find the largest library district closest to you. Most allow you to still get a card , outside of your town. The larger they are , better funding, better digital catalog. Or ask the local librarian when you have time , I asked for a tour last year, the amount of resources available was shocking.

Let’s assume I really live in the middle of nowhere haha. The “big” libraries near me are super uptight about it.

For Texans who might be reading this, Houston digital library is available to all in-state residents.
