That's one of the awesome things, at least with my local library, which is about a 5-10min walk from where I live. Nearly every service that they offer is available online, if you have a card. The card is free and the only time that I've had to go in in-person was to verify my address.

While I was there the librarian even walked my through apps that are useful for managing digital loans, etc. Libby being the one most useful for ebook and audiobook loans.
