<p class="MsoNormal">We have had an inquiry from one of our library directors (a former teen librarian), about circulation policies and issuing cards to patrons under age 18. Answers have varied, and our law librarian gave a thorough response based on ALA
policies, among other things. Apparently the problem in this director's community is that not all of the patrons or potential patrons under age 18 have photo IDs (their school district doesn't have them), and the library's current policy requires the parents
to come in and sign for their children under the age of 18. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our law librarian has checked with me, to inquire about varying policies in libraries regarding this, and if any of you have any thoughts on this matter, I'd appreciate hearing from you. I'll be happy to forward our law librarian's response
to anyone who would like to read it or can post to the list if you would like to read it. (She's excellent and thorough, and is looking for some actual practices in libraries in addition to the ALA's and legal policies).<o:p></o:p></p>
