[Michlib-l] interesting question

[Lisa Waskin]

I had an interesting question come up during a recent conversation with one
of my managers.  How would we accommodate and Amish resident of the SDL
wanting a library card since they don't have photo IDs, and I learned that
they also do not sign documents since their word is their bond.  (I'm also
going to talk to the banks because I can't imagine they can open an account
without proper ID and signature).  But my question is for any libraries that
have Amish patrons, and did you require a signature and some ID?  If not,
how did you handle it?  Do you have a written policy we can see?

Thank you so much,

Lisa
