Then I read on one of their pages that by "postal code" they meant zip code -- i.e. U.S. Enter Ontario and you also get regional libraries, most of which are in the U.S., which doesn't quite answer, unless you're looking for a quick inter-library loan, I suppose. Apparently there are a couple of upcoming deadlines today and tomorrow for libraries to re-commit themselves to the project or something of that kind. This may explain why there are so few libraries when you simply choose "Canada" for your geographical region. Yes, it fussed me, too.

None of the obvious libraries come up.
