A $38$50 library card can replace several subscriptions, including ebooks, audiobooks, movies, magazines, and online courses.
Many top libraries sell non-resident cards, and you may already qualify for free access through statewide or reciprocal programs.
Check Libby before buying a book, and teens ages 1321 can get free digital access through the Books Unbanned program.
Most Americans think they're limited to the library in their hometown. That assumption could be costing you hundreds of dollars every year.
Across the country, several of the nation's largest public library systems allow non-residents to purchase library cards, giving them access to enormous digital collections of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, streaming movies, newspapers, online courses, research databases, and much more.
For avid readers, audiobook fans, students, and lifelong learners, the right library card can replace several monthly subscriptions for less than the cost of a single streaming service.
While not every library offers non-resident memberships, and policies continue to evolve, the ones that do can be among the best bargains in America.
Libraries aren't just about books anymore
If your last visit to a public library was years ago, you're in for a surprise.
Today's major library systems often include:
Hundreds of thousands of ebooks and audiobooks through Libby and OverDrive
Streaming movies and documentaries through Kanopy and Hoopla
Digital magazines and newspapers
Language-learning courses
Business and investment databases
Career training and LinkedIn Learning
Genealogy resources
Homework help and tutoring
Consumer research tools
Music, comics, and educational videos
In many cases, all you need is a library card and your phone to gain access to all of this.
So, instead of paying $15 every month for Audible, another $12 for Kindle Unlimited, and additional subscriptions for magazines or online learning, one library card can unlock many of those same resources for a fraction of the cost.
Why do libraries sell cards to non-residents?
Public libraries are funded primarily by local taxpayers.
Because non-residents don't contribute through local property taxes, some library systems offer optional paid memberships that help offset the cost of providing access to their collections.
For many readers, the math still works in a big way.
