Query: What identification is needed to establish residency?

I was just asked by a Florida librarian what identification is needed to establish residency to get a library card. Anyone know of any legal authorities on point for Florida or elsewhere?

Update: The answer is it's up to the locality. (I checked with the Florida State Library) - Mary

I would appreciate your bringing this up when you speak later this week in Sarasota.

Our library requires two forms of ID, if a person's physical address is not on their picture ID. Otherwise, just the one picture ID. We record physical addresses, but have no way to *prove* them.

But that's just our homegrown policy, which hasn't been reviewed by an attorney.
