Local and Geeky Both
As you may or may not know, many of the DC area public library systems have reciprocal jurisdictions with one another, allowing residents of one area to register for a card at another library system for free. (Maryland libraries allow reciprocal registration throughout the state.)
Loudoun County, specifically, has reciprocal registration with: Falls Church, Alexandria, Winchester, District of Columbia; Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Prince William, Clarke and Frederick Counties in Virginia; and Montgomery, Prince Georges, Frederick and Charles Counties in Maryland; and card holders of the Thomas Balch Library in Leesburg.
I am highlighting Loudoun County because, in addition to Overdrive e-books (which are pretty common in the region) and NetLibrary e-books (which are pretty common in Virgina), Loudoun County Library's online resources include Safari Books online. You have to register in person and provide either proof of eligibility or a valid library card from a reciprocal jurisdiction.
