    1. The expiry date should be a year from the date the card was issued

    2. The date field, once clicked, has an arrow on the right side to select a date (in Adobe only)

  4. Print the filled-out TAL card

    1. Ensure that “Actual Size” and “Print on Both Sides” are both selected

  5. Have the patron sign the card

  6. Apply the barcode that you use to create the patron profile in Step 1 to the TAL card
