I would assume digital libraries are doing a bang up business.
Yes, it can be frustrating to find a new author and find the local library has only half of their books, or worse, a new seven book series of which they have books 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7. That's not just a digital library issue though.
Odd how some places have circled the digital wagons while others have opened the digital flood gates. Some of the libraries here have done the same as yours has, others have made it easier to get a card, even offering full (digital only) access cards for up to a month before you have to get a physical card and their only requirement for the physical card is an address anywhere in Colorado.
