I'm a schoolibrarian I wan't all of my students to be able to read e-books, but in order to download them in Digital edtions they need the create an Adobe ID. The only problem is that there's an agelimit. Most of the students are under 13 and not allowed to create an Adobe ID. Is there a way around this?
But legal issues that prevent Children from Reading e-books? I can't se why.
We have 1800 students connected to our 8 schoollibraries, to reach every parent to these 1800 students and get them to create an Adobe ID for their Child is impossible. Wich means that some Children would get access and others not. If they could create an Adobe ID for themselfs they would have equal access, and that is one of the aims for a schoollibrary: That alla students have equal access to the information provided.
There are no legal issues for book reading but for creating an Adobe ID. By creating the Adobe ID you need to accept certain terms that under age children do not understand. PG is needed.

I do see no problem in reaching every parent of these 1800 students. If there are problems, the problems will exclude the children from a lot of activities and for sure. As a parent I had access to all of my children accounts up to a certain age.
I've looked at the student privacy policy and it is clearly stated there, that you can provide service to children under the age of 13 as I suspected, with parental consent.
Yes, but the method for doing so varies depending on the product or service. Adobe does not allow children under 13 to directly register for an individual Adobe ID and so products and services that use individual Adobe ID only cannot be used by a student under 13. Apps and services like these must be used under the supervision of a parent or a teacher using that parent or teacher’s Adobe ID.
We are currently piloting an enterprise level K-12 named student license program that will allow schools to deploy enterprise-level Adobe IDs to students regardless of their age. Under its contractual agreement with Adobe, a school must first obtain the verified parental consent required by COPPA before registering a student under the age of 13. K-12 schools also are contractually obligated to register students under 13 using only enterprise or federated Adobe IDs. If the school obtains the required parental consent and deploys as directed, the resulting use will be COPPA-compliant.
For me this is clear. COPPA does not allow Adobe to allow children under 13 to register individually.
