Show Notes
The U.S. State Department has disqualified the Trenton branch of MidPointe Library System from providing passport services, citing its non-governmental status. Despite processing over 8,300 applications since 2016 with positive feedback, the library plans to appeal the decision. Meanwhile, other libraries like Cincinnati Hamilton County and Boone County Public Library, tied to city or county governments, have been approved to continue offering the service. The demand for library passport services remains high due to flexible hours and annual staff training. The State Department is expanding its own passport agencies, including a new one in Cincinnati, while some libraries are exploring the service to meet community needs.
