Can I get more cards from more libraries to make my Libby better?

If you put the code in to their website it turns into a permanent e-card without ever visiting a branch. It would of course be completely against the rules to use a friend's LA mailing address to do this. The LA library system has an excellent selection of obscure and academic e-books.

This is why LA taxes are ridiculous.

I have four cards loaded onto Libby (DC, Fairfax, Montgomery, and Alexandria). You do sometimes have to switch between libraries for searching for a less common book, but libby does automatically show you the library with the shortest waitlist for any book.

Yeah, I live in Brooklyn and people anywhere in the US were able to pay a tiny amount and get a Brooklyn library card. Meanwhile I’m here waiting months for my holds. They finally rescinded this policy, and good riddance. Brooklyn libraries should be for Brooklyn taxpayers. I feel for people with shitty library systems, but them’s the breaks of living in a small town.

I have one from Broward County in Florida and their selection is excellent. I pay around $30 a year for it but it's well worth it.

+1 I had the same experience.
