​Has anyone done this at the middle school level? Is parent permission required?

Our public library provided me with a simple application that I send to the public library through the interschool mail. They process the application and send me the cards. The process does take a couple of days.
I discuss the procedure during my freshman library orientation.

We just brought our public librarians in to meet the freshmen. Every student either brought in a library card or completed a library card application form. Our public librarians agreed that attendance at our local, public high school constituted proof of residence so students didn't need to present any additional information.

Once they all had a card, I had students create a google drive document where they recorded their library card number so they couldn't lose it and would always have access at home.

Hi again- here is an email I just sent to Eric @RESEARCHITCT - has anyone had an experience with this?  Does your public library issues cards digitally?  thanks- Barb

"Eric- Is it possible to utilize referring URL for the ResearchITCT databases?  The reason I ask is that our database page, which is password-protected,
lists many of the very useful ResearchITCT databases, and our teachers are starting to complain that it is not useful for their students, as they cannot access from home without a library card number.  I have asked the Wilton Library if we could get the cards online/virtually, but they say that the students must come into the library to get a card and access the databases.  

If I was able to get links that were referring URLs, that would allow my students to access at home.

If this is not possible, I would ask: do you know if other libraries make it possible for students to get library cards online?"
