I just spoke to a reference librarian who tells me that if you show up with
Washington area ID, you should have no problem getting a card.  That's
probably a better bet than letting them put your Fairfax number into their
system.  Access to external services does require authentication.

Just for convenience, here's the link to the Montgomery libraries--the
county subsumed it into their overall system, so it could take some hunting
to find:
