    Where i come from you can go there and read for free, but if you want to borrow stuff you need to have a card which is paid my an abo.

    And they will also get money by the city likely

      In my city/county, you get a free card if you can prove you live here (show something with your address) Our system will also do fundraisers to supplement the budget from taxes. We almost lost some libraries a gew years ago, but voters remade the local government and they are safer now.

      That’s sucks.

      In my country I’m pretty sure library cards are always free. The card has to be collected in person though.
