MANUAL OF LIBRARY POLICIES

SUBJECT: Library Card Registration

Resolution No. 090316-6

The Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library is an independent library. Library cards are not interchangeable among other libraries. Patrons 18 years of age and older must present a picture ID with a current address. If the ID does not have the current address posted; the patron must provide one of the following:

1. personal check
2. lease
3. piece of mail forwarded by the post office (with the current address on it or anything with the patron’s name and address in an official manner)

If a patron is unable to produce the required ID, the patron will be mailed a postcard. The patron will receive a library card when the postcard is returned to the library as proof of address.

Patrons under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and have the signature of a parent or legal guardian to obtain a card. Parents or legal guardians may choose to restrict their children under 18 from using the Internet or checking out videos/DVDs or videogames.
