Ah, we call that a “state ID.” I can use it to travel between states in the US, but I can’t use it to travel outside the country. Most people just have a driver’s license, which is a state ID + driving endorsement. I didn’t get a state ID until I got my driver’s license, but I definitely had a library card before then (I think I used my school ID).
A passport, however, is issued by the federal government, is used almost exclusively for international travel, and must be renewed every 10 years (5 if you’re under 18).
Even then, most libraries don’t need a government issued ID, they just need picture ID and an address, and they don’t record it anywhere, they just want to make sure you do, in fact, live in the city you’re applying for a library card in (i.e. you didn’t just steal someone else’s mail).
