Hi Helena, It depends on who has jurisdiction over the road. Determine where you want to put the signs then ask your local government. They can either give you permission or tell you who can.

interesting question
by Lisa Waskin 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

I had an interesting question come up during a recent conversation with one of my managers. How would we accommodate and Amish resident of the SDL wanting a library card since they don't have photo IDs, and I learned that they also do not sign documents since their word is their bond. (I'm also going to talk to the banks because I can't imagine they can open an account without proper ID and signature). But my question is for any libraries that have Amish patrons, and did you require a signature and some ID? If not, how did you handle it? Do you have a written policy we can see? Thank you so much, Lisa Lisa Waskin, Director Superior District Library 541 Library Drive Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 Ph. (906) 632-9331 Fax (906) 635-0210 lisaw(a)uproc.lib.mi.us <mailto:lisaw@uproc.lib.mi.us>
