I can neither confirm nor deny that some systems do a local address check to verify you're a resident.

Said staff, of said systems, may or may not encourage you to pick an address in their local area to provide you access to their eLibrary services when creating an eCard, no matter where you live.

Said systems can also confirm that it's materials are purchased by the local residents, but even if you popped by for a visit, we'd still encourage you to get a library card, in person, and be able to check out anything you want. So...

In short. Use us and abuse us.
