Dear list
For guest users (who are not registered on the system with verified ID), we
do not require proof of address, or any id.
We ask for a name and signature to borrow a card that allows access.
Proof of address seems a bit Bib Brother/Patriot Act to me. A bit like
asking people for id when they are browsing the shelves.

We don't ask for any ID from our guests/visitors either for Internet access,
but if we did, I wouldn't have thought to question a valid passport.
