If you live in Massachusetts, you can get a Boston Public Library e-card

[kestrell]

This is if you do not already have a BPL card. The point of this is that you can register for an e-card online and it allows you access to all the online services, including being able to electronically borrow music, audiobooks, and ebooks. Some of these ebooks require an additional ebook reader app, but many can be read using just your browser.

This online registration form is mostly accessible--I am using Jaws with Chrome--but the label for the "City" combo box didn't get read for some reason. You will get an error and a link back to the form if you miss anything, though, so just stick with it.

Here's the link to the form and the FAQ

One of the virtues of the land-grant university

...which plays such a large part in my town is that you can get a courtesy card for $40 annually (or less, if you're a in-state student elsewhere). I spent so many happy hours in their periodical room, and later using their terminals to research nifty stuff.
