I collect library cards like other people collect Pokémon cards. The more I get, the more audiobooks are available to me through apps like Libby.

    I have five library cards with 3 subs to Kanopy and 2 to Hoopla. I actually prefer Libby to anna’s archive or other alternative methods. If anyone has sneaky methods to get more…share them please!

    For anyone who cares here is a list of the largest e-book lenders that I found when I was library cards hunting. If you are in one of these areas—get a library card!

    To add to this:

    • Mid-Continent Library in the Kansas City Metro has the biggest selection that I’ve seen in this area (Kansas and Missouri). Idk about Wichita or St Louis.

    • You can sign up for the KC Library, Johnson County Library, and Mid-Continent Library card online if you live in an area it covers.

    • You can get a Johnson County Library card if you don’t live in that area, but you have to go in person to sign up.

    • There are also quite a few libraries around the US that will let you sign up regardless of where you live if you make a donation.
