Hey y'all! Just wanted to bring your attention to three free library cards you can sign up for to access new materials through Libby/OverDrive.

The first is available through the Queer Liberation Library. QLL aims to connect LGBTQ+ people with literature, information, and resources that celebrate the unique and empowering diversity of the queer community. With a QLL digital library card, users can access over 500 titles. You can sign up through this link.

The second card is available from the Literature Translation Institute of Korea and provides access to the Digital Library of Korean Literature, the world’s only multilingual archive of Korean literature and related contents. The collection includes Korean literature, journals, magazines, DVDs, and more translated into 51 languages. After signing up, you'll simply sign into Libby/OverDrive with the email and password you used for your account. Sign up here.

Finally, the third card is available through the Japan Foundation. This organization aims to promote international awareness and mutual understanding between Japan and the U.S. through cultural exchange. To apply, simply fill out the form on their site (linked here). Applicants must be 14 years or older. Confirmation emails are sent every Wednesday evening, containing instructions on how to log in to the system and begin borrowing eBooks.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE I wanted to take a moment to add the information and resources others have shared in the comment.

Per @crybabybea, you can obtain a free account from the folks at the Organization of Autism Research at this link.

Via @Loyaute, the Seattle Public Library offers access to a collection of eBooks and audiobooks to teens and young adults ages 13 to 26 living anywhere in the U.S. through their Books Unbanned program, which can be accessed here. According to @courtwriteshalfdraft, Brooklyn Public Library and Boston Public Library also offer cards through this program which can be found here and here respectively. Additionally, I discovered that San Diego Public Library and LA County Library also participate in this program and can be accessed at these links: SD and LA.

@chelssicle has provided a link to the Canadian version of the Japan Foundation card linked here.

As a note, while some of these services indicate they are only available in the U.S. or Canada, some have had success obtaining an account.

Happy reading!!
