[Michlib-l] PO Box address

[James B Lenze]

We have a person who wants to get a library card, but has a PO Box for
their address on their drivers license.  We normally require proof of
residency within our community when issuing library cards.  This person
says they cannot give me anything with a street address "for legal
reasons."  Although they were vague about what those reasons might be, they
left the impression that they are trying to avoid being found by a person
with bad intent.  Do any libraries make exceptions in cases such as this?
If so, do you issue a standard patron card or one with more
restrictions (no econtent, shorter expiration,...)
Thanks in advance,
     James
