It is interesting. Can I ask, are you confident that there's a direct causal relationship?
Also, it's curious that two key words are still in here - 'joining' and 'membership'. Add to that the word 'Audience' from Janice's job title and it makes me feel maybe we're just at the beginning, not the end of our thinking on this.

Interestingly, in Essex we removed all requirements for proof of identity when joining the library in 2003, which has resulted in an increase of membership and no corresponding loss of stock.
