lots-o-rice Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I know this question has been asked before, but I didn't know if there are any new notable additions to the list. I currently have the Free Library of Philadelphia as our online library, but they recently changed their lending policy and you can only check out 6 books instead of 10 at a time. I have 4 kids and 6 books is a challenge sometimes. We are overseas, so this is the only way we can check out free books. (well, somewhat free--compared to buying them on amazon) I probably can use a friend's card from the States, but they only allow 3 at a time checked out. if I wanted an out of state card of my own, it would cost $90! I don't think so. I don't mind paying a fee for a library, but it had better be a good one, and allow for more than 3 books at a time. Any suggestions?

lots-o-rice Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 ok, yes I am replying to my own post. I just looked into this year's prices for the Philly library. It used to be $35, now it's $50 and still only 6 books at a time. hmmmm. I guess I will have to do it, but annoying. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots-o-rice Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 World library is cheap, and looks interesting, thanks! I also came across the Brooklyn Library. They let you check out 15 books and they have about a third more titles to choose from. And it is the same price as Philly. They don't have the e-magazines, but I think I can ask a friend to use their account for that. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
