Is it required to collect age with Beanstack?
Beanstack requires that new account creators and readers enter their age upon registration. As a library administrator, you are able to choose how you collect ages from your readers by navigating to Setup > Age Collection.

Within the age collection settings, you are able to pick between readers recording their age as:
- Numbers: All readers on your site will select their age as an exact number.
- Years: Any adult or teen reader will select the year they were born, and younger child readers will select their numerical age.
- 18+: All readers on your site will select their age as an exact number, with 18+ as the highest number option available.
- 19+: All readers on your site will select their age as an exact number, with 19+ as the highest number option available.
- 20+: All readers on your site will select their age as an exact number, with 20+ as the highest number option available.
