Guest Resources Guide: Accessing Physical Items and Spaces

Guests can borrow books from the library.  For more information check out our Circulation Policies.

You need to request a Marist Community Borrower Card by filling out the form below and submitting it in person, or scanning/photographing it and emailing it to PublicServices.Library@Marist.edu. Forms may also be completed and mailed to the library (instructions on form).

Your Marist Community Borrower Card must be presented at the Circulation Desk for every transaction. 

Guests are welcome to visit the library and/or the library's reading rooms on all three floors for studying or reading.

• 1st floor: Quiet floor.  Please do not use your cell phone on this floor.  A silent study room, the Kirk Reading Room, is located on the north end.  No conversation is allowed within this room even if you are the only one there.
• 2nd floor: Entrance and exit of the library.  Great place to take photos, conversations are allowed, but cell phone calls should be taken out in the lobby by the coffee bar.
• 3rd floor: Another great place to take photos, but classes are held on this floor so keep conversations to a reasonable volume.  Cell phone calls should also be taken in the lobby by the coffee bar.

Library reading rooms should not be used for meetings with colleagues or conducting calls for your business.

Collaborative rooms are not available for guests as they are intended for group use for academic purposes like studying and group projects.

Printers are unavailable for use by guests.
