Crap system... especially as the UK govt has decreed I can't leave the house except for essential travel !
luckily, the e-book borrow system does not seem to care that the card has expired, and the account number + PIN still works

I agree, my library card, of the town where I lived until 5 Years ago, will never expire. And one of the last times I have gone to the library was because I wanted to subscribe the card to borrow ebooks. It also will never expire. I don't understand why things must be so complicated in UK.
And about documents: I obtained my library card when I was a child (my number is 26 of a library that serves a municipality of 30.000 inhabitants) so I can't remember but I am sure that there was nothing particular to do for my mom.
And for ebooks I don't remember exactly which documents I needed but it was something that I normally take with me.
