It's true for some campus libraries.

  Well he said he only needed $10 for the card, which suggests a non-college library. And at my campus you just needed a student id to check books out or go on a computer, but it's otherwise open to the public. But maybe. I assume it's accurate, just seems unusual from my experience.

I think it's just as likely for a school to include the library card cost in tuition and charge for it otherwise. My guess is "Santa Luna" is actually Santa Cruz, and their library cards are free too (at least now, but I suspect that it hasn't changed). My guess is that since this was written after the fact, there's just some haziness on what was actually the case, and why he didn't frequent the library as much (which might be as simple as that the hours he was out and walking the neighborhood were often not library hours).
