Our most excellent colleague Jennifer Roberts let me know that she has a NYPL library card even though she is a resident of a state just across the Hudson River. She reports that if you live, work, or go to school in New York State, you, too, can get get a library card from the NYPL.New Battery Park City Branch Library Manager Billy Parrott confirmed for me that books borrowed in Brooklyn must be returned to a Brooklyn branch and the same goes for Queens, as those two boroughs have separate library systems. So even though a Brooklyn Library Card won't help you out in Battery Park City, if you work or go to school in Manhattan, Staten Island, or the Bronx, you are eligible for a New York Public Library Card.
Thanks Billy and Jen!

Though this doesn't relate directly to Battery Park, just so your readers know, the same is true for the Queens Library. Anyone is lives in, works in, or owns property in the state of New York can get a free card at the Queens Library (with 62 locations in the borough). I imagine it's true for Brooklyn Public Library as well.
This is very helpful information for our readers, Dale. Thanks for taking the time to let us know.
