Since this wasn’t apparent the last time I asked… no, I’m actually not a US citizen or green card holder (permanent resident). Just happened to be in this country for a long time due to career reasons.

      Libraries with access to the enormous amount of English language content are usually only found in English speaking countries, though.

      Good luck finding more than a few books on niche topics in, say, Dutch (ask me how I know).

      I deeply regret not hanging onto my US library card.

        Understandable, just another reason to learn the country’s language then.

          I speak the language fluently; that’s not the problem.

          It’s the fact that there are a much smaller number of books available on most topics because the country is so small.
