[Libs-Or] library card applications

[Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney]

I'm looking forward to responses here. We require a parent/guardian be present unless they are 13 or older and have a local high school ID - we have a partnership with the high school for these students. If they're a student, they still need to bring in a signed application, but their parent/guardian doesn't have to be present. We've been considering other, less onerous alternatives.
 
We currently require a personal reference for all cards, but have been seriously considering doing away with this requirement entirely (it's only been successfully used once to retrieve materials in the past decade).

Hello everyone,

What are our requirements for children under 18 who apply for a library card? Must their parents sign the application and provide ID? Would you accept a student with a school ID and not a parent signature? At what age do you allow student instead of parent?

Do you require a personal reference name and phone number?

Thanks,
