If they live or work in MA they're eligible for a card. Not helpful if they're out-of-staters, but more people should know how accessible the cards are.

You don’t need to be a Boston resident to use the Boston public library?

Nope! Their eligibility and application instructions are here. They even offer digital cards for access to their online resources if you're not able to travel to Boston for a physical card. (Tip on that: if you're trying to borrow an ebook that has a waitlist, your BPL card grants you borrowing privileges to something like 7 or 8 other library networks in MA, and usually you can find an available copy of the ebook through one of them!)
