[Evergreen-general] School Age Library Card

[Terran McCanna]

We have a special program that partners libraries with schools and we use a
prefix for the district (like SAV for Savannah) combined with their student
lunch card number (which is unique within that district and which the
students already know). We use a special permission group with its own circ
rules for this and we do not issue physical cards. Some of the schools
issue physical cards that show their school ID/lunch card, but many do not.
