Public libraries: library cards.

Summary

Beginning Jan 1 2028, California public libraries may not require a parent or guardian to be physically present to issue a library card to a resident who is 16 or 17 years old. Libraries are still allowed to request a parent’s signature or consent. If the state determines the rule creates costs for local agencies, it will reimburse those expenses.
