If you're not American and you live in the global south where libraries are not well funded, it's morally okay to sign up for American public libraries digital memberships using fake addresses to access their Libby/Overdrive.
The US owes us a lot, not the other way around. So go ahead, babes. Find fake addresses and access their digital libraries for free.
Yes, yes, pirating is easier but the Libby app is convenient
@hongkongtaxi you're a real one thank you
Bad news: NYPL would terminate your account after three weeks because they required in person address verification while Brooklyn Public Library no longer issues e-card.
Queens Library should be the easiest to sign up.
Look for American libraries that have Kanopy and Mango Languages because you can also access those services.
Adding my best friend, the library in Northern California that has a grant funding it to give out ecards worldwide to anyone anywhere (as far as I know).
Brooklyn Public Library has a program called Books Unbanned where anyone in the US under 21 can get a free online card (this was to combat library censorship and book banning) and I remember it being pretty easy to get signed up for that. I don’t think I really had to give much personal information, so it’d probably be pretty easy to get no matter where you are. Also, if the library you sign up for has a Hoopla subscription, you can get access to a lot of free music, TV, and comics.
