Check the nearest large city. For example, in Pennsylvania anyone in the state can sign up for the Philadelphia library even if you've never been to Philly. The process is entirely online.

I've also been told some libraries will let anyone sign up online for a yearly fee. Then you use the Libby app to borrow books.

That’s not how it works here sadly. I’m not in US.

Sure it is, I have cards from several major metropolitan areas around the country. I've never been less than honest about where I live when applying.

Just call them. I'm sure the librarians would be happy to help you out, especially since many libraries offer ebooks.

I've had several books on loan at a time on any given day but I haven't set foot into a library since I got my card. I love havine access to ebooks from the library.

Pull a reverse gattica, and hire someone else to get a library card and assume their library identity.
