Q. Can I use the library if I am a visiting researcher?

Yes! Library access is available to community researchers with a valid photo ID. Please check in at our welcome desks at the entrance of the library.

• If you wish to check out books and other materials, you must request and pay for a Community Borrower's Card online prior to coming in person. Community Borrower's Card applications may take a few days to process.
• We are no longer offering our carryout service as a way for community borrowers to access collections. If you are a patron that needs low-contact service, please see our additional FAQ
