This is great news for a New York Stater like me! I've been a member of the KnowBetter eBook lending library connected with Fictionwise for quite some time now, but have been hoping for more lending sources. And I've frequently checked my local County library system, with disappointing results, so was really delighted to read that I could get borrowing privileges at the NYPL.
So, a big thanks for posting this!
I've applied online and am now eagerly awaiting for my library card to arrive by snail mail.
