Patrons using post office as address (different than P.O. Boxes)

Hello. Has anyone else encountered patrons presenting an ID with the address of the post office on it? WE have seen it twice now In Loves Park, they just list the street address of the post office and a suite number. It is apparently different than having a PO Box. But in terms of proving where taxes are paid, its the same principle, and we don't allow PO boxes as proof of living in the district. When people are staying in a hotel, or are an exchange student, etc., we find ways of issuing them at least a temporary card, until until they prove permeant address. But these patrons insist this address is also used on all of their bills, and even w2's. Anyone else encounter this and how do you handle it? 

 

Thanks.

French spine labels

What do other libraries use for "French" spine labels? We used to order ours from Demco - but they are no longer available and I cannot find them from any other vendor.
