libraries
I have lived in Hilo Hawaii for 3 months now from the UK and I need to know what do I need to join a library in the United States?
I have not got a social security number yet as it is my husband who is working, not I but I do have a A2 or A3 visa
Before I take my kids there I just want to know if there are any specific rules

You owe me a pound of kona coffee beans for doing your Googling for you.

Thanks 
does that mean I need a Social Security number to join as ID?
What else could I use as ID?

How about calling the library and asking them?

Re: libraries
Depends on the library, usually just need proof that your a resident of the town where the library is, so a drivers license, or a utility bill...could always just send a card to yourself then you'll have something with your name and address on it, that'll do for most libraries.
