Visitor Borrowing Privileges
Certain eligible visitors may apply for library borrowing privileges at a reduced cost. For information on whether you qualify for borrowing privileges and how to set that up, please go to our Visitor Services page. All other guests who do not fall into one of the categories listed there can purchase visitor borrowing privileges for $300 a year.
