Is this just a misunderstanding, that the daughter needs to present proof, like her father's paid tax bill, to get a card? Or are the people at the library this petty, that the father could get a card but his child could not?
The policy itself sounds reasonable. The interpretation of the policy may not be.

The problem lies with the librarian who refused to give the young lady a library card. There are countless uneducated people in this world who suck our system dry and here we have a young adult from a tax paying family who wants the right to borrow books and educate herself and the librarian turns the girl away. You can't make this stuff up! If I were working as a librarian and a young kid came looking for a library card I certainly wouldn't be turning them away. After all, how many young adults are seeking library cards these days? The answer is clear. Not nearly enough!!!!!!
