How would we accommodate and Amish resident of the SDL wanting a library card since they don’t have photo IDs, and I learned that they also do not sign documents since their word is their bond. (I’m also going to talk to the banks because I can’t imagine they can open an account without proper ID and signature). But my question is for any libraries that have Amish patrons, and did you require a signature and some ID? If not, how did you handle it? Do you have a written policy we can see?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you so much,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lisa<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lisa Waskin, Director<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Superior District Library<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>541 Library Drive<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sault Ste.
