Section 1-105.  A.  Any library which is in whole or in part supported by public funds including but not limited to public, academic, school or special libraries, and having records indicating which of its documents or other materials, regardless of format, have been loaned to or used by an identifiable individual or group shall not disclose such records to any person except to:

C.  The requirements of this section shall not prohibit middle and elementary school libraries from maintaining a system of records that identifies the individual or group to whom library materials have been loaned even if such system permits a determination, independent of any disclosure of such information by the library, that documents or materials have been loaned to an individual or group.
D.  Any requests for registration information by a party other than those authorized by this section of law shall be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency if library personnel have reason to believe that the requester seeks information in order to commit a criminal act.
E.  For purposes of this section, "registration information" shall include but not be limited to any information required of a minor in order to become eligible to borrow books and other materials and utilize library services.
