Worth noting that if you’re in the US, your state likely has a statewide library as well. For instance, in Texas, the Houston Public Library gets a special grant to offer ebooks to the entire state. So anyone with a Texas address can sign up for free. Most states have similar programs.
My epub offering is through the NE Library Commission. OPL doesn't offer reciprocity because it takes up most of one county and spills over into another. As such, the smaller communities in the Omaha area has to have their own Libraries without reciprocity and everything is through the state Library Commission.
