Yes, but...in so many public libraries the paperwork involved in getting a card is surprisingly complicated. When I tried that field trip I found that the children (who don't customarily carry photo ids or, indeed, any sort of identification) were unable to use this wealth of resources. A teacher could not sign or vouch for them; only a parent. Although it is nice to demonstrate the existence of large collections, it is ultimately a frustrating experience for the child. And you cannot even enter some academic libraries in Maryland without a student id. What a shame!
