Socialized Library Cards?

My trip to the equivalent of the Social Security Office was a while ago but I forgot to write about it. Since I will be here for an extended period of time, I am required to get a CPR number. With this number I get free medical insurance, can sign up for a bank account, and can get a job. I have spent many hours in the Social Security Office in Modesto, thanks to my dad misplacing my social security card, and each time it was not a pleasant experience. Well I walked into the office (they call it a commune) and the interior is very well designed. There were a row of people to help direct me to where I needed to go. I explained and showed them my passport, visa, and forms that were all ready filled out. The lady handed me a number and told me to wait. I sat down in the waiting area with only two other people waiting. There was free coffee and tea for those who were waiting, welcome to socialized medicine. I only waiting for about five minutes before my number was called. Then a lady entered in my information into a computer, picked my doctor based on where I live. I was in and out in 10 to 15 minutes! This card is also my library card to check out books from any library in Denmark which I find a little weird . . . this is what the card looks like.
