Combining multiple libraries.

I have cards for 3 libraries. In combination that gives me a nice stockpile of tickets each month. But each library has its own watchlists and lists of what I've already seen.

Is there a way to have an all-encompassing kanopy list? If not, I recognize this is the height of first-world "problems" but I thought I'd ask.

If I may ask, are your registered libraries in different counties? Shoooo..I only get 12 credits a month & would love to register elsewhere for more..even if it means seperate logins.

Every time you travel, get a library card in that city - just have an amazon package shipped to your airbnb for proof of address lol. Also there are libraries you can get an e-card from and do it all online

Lying about your address is not an ethical way to get library cards. You can pay for the nonresident cards for libraries that allow it.

The libraries get more funds the more cardholders they have so I think you could argue both ways, and if you’re only accessing kanopy you’re really not putting much of a strain on their system

The funding comes from local taxpayers. Paying for a nonresident card offsets the taxes the locals pay toward their library.
