“The clerk scanned my library card and told me he would have to confiscate it. It was no longer valid. He told me that to get a new card that I would have to bring in a utility bill postmarked in the last thirty days and a state approved picture ID. I have had a library card continuously for over 55 years. I have checked out more than 10,000 books from this library in my lifetime. I was the former chairman of Friends of the Library. To no avail. I was informed that Homeland Security requires these new rules. The library removed all the old pockets which showed previous borrowers supposedly in the name of privacy.”
