Hi Jenn, We recently changed our own policies and procedures regarding this very issue. Anyone 14 years of age, able to provide proper identification, may sign themselves up for a card. In the case of patrons under 14, we allow any adult (18+) to sign for them. No separate form is needed, the verbiage is on the application. While it still states "parent/guardian," they must sign acknowledging that they will be responsible for all items borrowed by the juvenile. Kristin Brailey Circulation Supervisor Paul A.

Do any of your libraries have something like that? The instances that come to mind is when a child is visiting with their grandparents or an older, adult sibling. If the parents aren't available to sign and the trusted adult is willing to sign that they are willing to be financially responsible for items checked, then why shouldn't we find a way to get the child a card. Before we re-invent the wheel, I thought I'd see if anyone else has something like this.
