I live in New York State and they issued one to me. I paid 25 dollars. Although i do live in Orange County which is adjacent to Sussex County. However, i do not recall any restrictions on whom can get a card if they do not live in the SCL's coverage area...which is the whole county excluding Sparta Twp. Perhaps someone on this list may know if there were any restrictions on what out-of-county residents can and cannot get a card. However, you might have to go in person to get the card...because i know i had to show my driver license., That might hinder you if you live in California....unless they will accept a copy. My suggestion would be to go on the website www.sussexcountylibrary.org and see what the requirements are...or just call down to the Main Library in Frankford Twp...they will be able to help.
