He/Him/His<br>
She/Her/Hers<br>
They/Them/Theirs<br>

And you should probably consider making it so they can choose more than one. Some non-binary individuals are comfortable with using more than one set of pronouns.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<br>
I was wondering if any library had a library card application form that <br>
included other options for gender other than male or female that you <br>
could share? We recently had a patron who doesn't identify as either and <br>
since our applications are outdated I thought it may be best to get <br>
something new.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
