Become a Community Borrower
The public is welcome to enter and use the Library, its facilities and many of its resources. Borrowing privileges are also extended to the public and alumni. Access to online resources is available via our public workstation for 30 minutes per session.
In order to borrow books and enter the Library during card entry hours, one must present a Community Borrower Card. This card may be obtained, free of charge, by filling out a Community Borrower application and presenting two forms of identification, one of which must be a picture ID. A parent or guardian must sign the application for patrons under the age of 18. The card will be issued immediately to the patron.
