    That’s a good tip, although around my way it’s standard to need to visit a local library at least once in order to finalise sign-up (in the UK it’s standard to need to show photo ID when signing up, and libraries won’t generally bother setting up a way to do that remotely).

    I know one person who happily collects library memberships every time they’re in a new area with a bit of time on their hands though. They’ve got a very impressive wallet-full of library cards!
