HI,
We no longer ask for any proof of address in Sunderland for anyone
joining the library and we do not seem to have had any noticeable
increase in the number of overdues we send out.

Subject: Joining procedures for travellers, homeless people etc
Hello
We are trying to clarify our joining procedures with groups for whom
providing proof of address/ID is not straightforward.
It would be really helpful to know what others are doing particularly
regarding:
Do you require any kind of ID for travellers or homeless people?
If so, what ID is acceptable?
If no ID is required, are those customers restricted in what they can
borrow (by amounts or types of material etc)?
If ID is required and provided, presumably the customer then enjoys full
membership of the library?
Apologies if this is being revisited again. I did search the Archives
but couldn't find anything very up to date. I am happy to summarise
responses if others would find it useful.
Kind regards
Helen Dorricott
