We just discovered that the local library will allow non-residents to have a temporary card.  We had to pay a deposit that will be refunded when we return the card before leaving town.  The boys were so pleased to be able to check out some fresh reading material!

We had just assumed that libraries were out for us because we would never be residents in our stopping places (we rarely stay in one place longer than a week or two).  Now - we'll just ask away when we hit a new town!  We hope that this is a common practice.

It's very common, and you will be pleased to find that a lot of libraries don't even ask for a deposit. And you can return the books by mail if you don't finish them in time. It's a great life, enjoy it !
