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

Proof of address is basically it.

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?

passport
drivers license
utility bills
bank statements

jesus, it's a Library, not the CIA.

How about calling the library and asking them?

I would call them but they're actually not open yet

Passport and a letter with your name and address on it.

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.

Well, call them when they *are* open! It's not like this is some life and death decision! Here's a thought... Google is your friend.

They took my British driver's licence no problem.

Did they give it you back?

I like those choccie nuts they have.

After a strip-search, yes.

Some people get all the luck!
