Reply to comment by Strawbrawry in Things DC does really well by erichinnw

I don't think there's a charge for at least nearby MD or VA residents anymore... before moving into DC proper last year, I was living in Maryland (Prince George's County) and I got a DC card for free. I think there are now reciprocal agreements.

Can confirm for MD residents. I got a DC library card recently free of charge.

there's reciprocity between DC MD and VA. plus, they'll give a library card to just about anyone if you show up with your cable bill or whatever

I'll have a free card this year, not sure why I was charged last time.

They don’t charge if you have a DC, MD, or VA id. You may have used a different ID then.
