We'd like to be alerted when a patron who was marked as juvenile (the checkbox 
based on their birth date) is now over 18. The goal would be to catch those 
now-adults and change their library card type from Juvenile to Adult, so they 
are now responsible for their library card rather than their parent. We would 
also enter their ID information, and remove the parent's ID (typically their 
driver's license).

The staff notification could be just a alert message. We'd like to avoid having 
to look at an expired account and calculate whether that patron is now an 
adult, so please no solutions involving math. :)

We've run a report for patrons who have Juvenile accounts but are 18+, and 
there are hundreds. I'm guessing we're on our own fixing these ones, but maybe 
there is a miracle out there for adding the alert to these accounts too?

Thanks!
