"Look! A library card! I've taken out a library card! I have been given my citizenship in the Land of Knowledge!" ~Charles Schulz, Peanuts, 1960 [Linus –tg]

You need to provide us with two forms of identification:
- Signed photo identification, e.g. driver's licence or passport (not required for a child membership); and
- Verification of address, e.g. a property rates notice, contract for permanent employment or rental contract or lease, or something with your name and address on it such as a bank statement, or phone account
