I suspect that's the policy in your local library not the system. When we went to the library all three of us used to sign up. And at the main San Antonio branch the children's computers are on a different floor. From what I gather from talking to the librarians there, the supervision issue is more a matter of they don't want to have to "babysit", or have to find the parent if the kid *is* lookng at somethg inappropriate. They got to kow that my kids did not present issues in either respect and supervision was not an issue.
