Free to read all you want in-house, but if you want to take some home, you gotta pony up for that card.

Fortunately the card was usually cheap.

      I’ve also never paid for a library card and I live in the US, so it’s clearly not always America. In fact most commenters here are noting they are paying small fees in euros so it seems this trend is common in Europe more so.

      I have yet to see any kind of public library in America that charges for a library card, and I live in a red state.
