its because they want/need to check that you still live local and thus are entitled to the service ( as opposed to getting the same service from a different library in a different town ! )
same with the bus pass , I suppose. I doubt they worry that I have somehow reverse-aged & become too young for the entitlement, but still they want to recheck my photo ID....
anyway, the bus drivers are probably instructed to drive all the old folk direct to the police station to be booked for breaking stay at home quarantine
