Access & Borrowing

Non-GC CUNY Alumni

Non-GC CUNY alumni (except CUNY BA alumni) must join the Graduate Center Friends of the Library to use the Graduate Center Library. Membership at the $250 level allows on-site access to the Graduate Center library for one year. A $1000 contribution is acknowledged by a year of borrowing from the Graduate Center Library.

Bring your own device to use GC guest wifi to access library resources, or obtain a guest login on each visit to use library computers.
