We are always in libraries. Only my husband and I have cards and the kids never go to libraries alone. All books checked out are on only one card, the parent's card who is present. They always make a point to ask if all the books, mine, the kids piles etc., are going on just the one card, as if there is something wrong with this .... and always go on to ask if we want separate cards for the kids ... and we always say no thanks .... we are so strange.... controlling everything are kids watch and read....so radical.

Our kids think it is freaky that some stranger, someone they don't know is questioning their parents authority, attempting to find a way for them to be able to do something that would be hidden from their parents.

Just another lesson for them, wolves, vultures, circling around them with candy, enticement, like the devil to Eve - "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

You are so right. They want you to get your kids separate cards so that they no longer have to tell you what your kids have borrowed. Children, to them, have a "right of privacy" so parents are not allowed to know what books they borrowed. The San Antonio Public Library in Texas is an example. See POLICIES - Confidentiality of Library Records.
