Hm. I paid 'rent' to my local library for books - a fee for the membership card. I know, Amazon likely will charge more. But it's not unprecedented.

That sucks, public library memberships should be free.

How much does it cost you, and where are you located? It's free at our local libraries in Michigan. We have a property tax millage that provides most of the library budget.

Is it anywhere close to the cost of providing the services your library provides, or a nominal fee to print the card?
