We maintain what is essentially a closed stacks library. Because the physical library is mainly open for current students, faculty, and staff, all other users need to make an appointment with the librarian in order to use the library. Doing so ensures you will be able to access the library and that you are registered in the system. Library users in this category cannot use the log-in sheet to check out books. Books will be checked out with the librarian during the visit.
Alumni who wish to access the library need to contact the librarian to make an appointment.
What alumni has access to: Physical books in the Northern Seminary Library.
