I always dreaded the day that my Orange Country Public Library card wore out because renewing my account would be difficult or impossible without proof of residence. (Only Orange County residents can get OCPL library cards and I moved out of the OC more than three years ago.) That day was last Friday. The bar code on my library card wouldn't scan (the old cards have the account information printed on a paper sticker so it wasn't exactly robust) and I started to panic. But to my surprise the librarian just asked if I wanted a new card! I said sure not knowing exactly what she meant, but she simply pulled out a new card (this one with the bar code printed directly on the plastic), scanned it, and handed it to me. My account number changed, but that's about it. I couldn't believe how easy it was! So I can continue to break library rules by checking stuff out from the OCPL system without being an OC resident. Excellent.
