Well, I'm Canadian, so if the USPS really does return Canadian library cards to citizens when mailed in Canada, they're really going above and beyond... and possibly spying on our mail way too much for comfort. But odds are they're doing that anyway. ;)
Anyway, I don't know if Canada would do that, but even assuming so, I don't know offhand where a library is, so leaving the card where I found it (in somewhat plain view on a sidewalk where the owner probably walks on a regular basis) was, notwithstanding options I don't know about like the mailbox one, the best chance of them getting it back, because I know myself. If I took it with me whether to attempt to track them down personally and return it or to find and give it to a library, what would happen is that I would get home and every once in a while I would happen to see it or something and recall, "I really should get started on trying to get that to its owner", followed quickly by, "I can't right now, though, so I'll handle it a bit later."
Hell right now I'm "handling something a bit later" and procrastinating by responding to this comment instead of doing the something, and that something's for me, not a stranger.
Though if I knew the Canadian postal service would return it once dropped in a mailbox, I probably would have gone that route, since those are all over.
