How many library cards do you have?
I have four active cards - one for the local library, one for the San Jose system, which includes about a dozen branches, one for Santa Clara County which includes about 8 branches and one for my college library.

I also have 7 or 8 from other places I've lived - Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Alabama - that are probably expired.

I love libraries. :bounce:

4. One Glendale card
which might be expired and I think I owe them money. I have Los Angeles one too which I love but I owe them money so they've kinda suspended my priviledges until I pay up. It's only six bucks but money's a little tight so I'll pay them as soon as I can.

5. My ex used to joke that my mug shot hung in every library
I singlehandedly pay the expenses of about every library I patronise in late fees. I don't know why it's so hard for me to return books on time - or renew them online which takes five minutes from the comfort of my own home - but I like to think of it as giving back. :patriot:

6. I have this bad habit of renewing until I can't anymore
even after I've finished a book. Then I forget the renewal date and the fees add up. the LA library doesn't mess around. I'm pretty sure I owed far more than six bucks to Glendale and my priviledges were never suspended.

15. Same here
I hold a card from the Manchester City Library which gives me privileges at all of the GMILCS libraries, which includes eight public libraries and the academic library at new England College.

I also get a fair amount of use out of the New Hampshire State Law Library, located at the Supreme Court building in Concord.
