I work at a library in Missouri and I just want to make what's going on a little more clear: minors won't need permission every time they want to check out a book, but they do need to have a parent or guardian present when they register for a library card. those that currently have cards without parental permission will need to get their parent/guardian to provide a signature before they can check out any new books at my library, but I believe some others are giving them a bit of time before shutting down access
this also means that if you are a minor in Missouri with a library card your parents don't know about, you may be getting a letter in the mail soon notifying them! if this is a problem you may need to try to intercept it. but you should contact your library if possible (or at least check around their website) to find out what they're doing to accommodate this rule and how it will affect you
also if you want someone to send hate mail to, this rule comes directly from Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft. he is running for governor so if you live in Missouri and are able to, please vote so we don't have to deal with that shit
adding on just a bit more information:
Fuck Jay Ashcroft he's a bastard and a half
Also if any MO residents want to bog down his office a bit you can request a free copy of the Missouri constitution by emailing publications@sos.mo.gov
