library patron
Card-carrying reader
A library patron is someone who uses a library's services—borrowing books, accessing resources, or using the facilities.
The term appears in library policies and signage: Library patrons must present valid identification to check out materials.
Patron here carries its sense of regular customer or user, though libraries are typically free public services.
