  I have five library cards with 3 subs to Kanopy and 2 to Hoopla. I actually prefer Libby to anna’s archive or other alternative methods.

  For anyone who cares here is a list of the largest e-book lenders that I found when I was library cards hunting. If you are in one of these areas—get a library card!

    To add to this:

    Mid-Continent Library in the Kansas City Metro has the biggest selection that I’ve seen in this area. Idk about Wichita or St Louis.

    You can sign up for the KC Library, Johnson County Library, and Mid-Continent Library card online if you live in an area it covers.

    You can get a Johnson County Library card if you don’t live in that area, but you have to go in person to sign up.

    There are also quite a few libraries around the US that will let you sign up regardless of where you live if you make a donation.
